Focus On: Vaisselle
Vaisselle (French for crockery) is our brand new tableware brand with a lovely international heritage. Made in Southern Spain by a French designer based in Highgate, London.
Background
Lea Zana, a former footwear designer, was made redundant by ASOS in 2019, lost her next job due to the pandemic and set about reinventing herself in the first lockdown. Vaisselle is her joyful response to homebred Covid mealtimes and the absence of restaurants and bistros in our lives. A self confessed terrible cook, Lea’s beautiful designs distract attention from the food on the table and draw attention to the vessels themselves.

Production
Handmade, using traditional techniques, the ceramics are made from clay from the local area in Andalusia and decorated with lead free paints and natural pigments. They are produced in small quantities, fired only when the kiln is completely full. And all pieces are dried in the sun (we can only dream!).
