Cubo Light
2.
X Holes
The Cubo Light is hand crafted in Bristol, by Richard Stokes, a former tree surgeon who creates objects using wood rather than the timber ending up as firewood.
X Holes boards are made from sustainably sourced birch plywood. Available in a square or round format, with a range of complimentary accessories, they make a perfect desk tidy.
Cubo is a sustainable light using a low voltage LED source, made from FSC beech wood, and finished with Danish oil.
The boards come with 10 matching birch pegs.
Cubo is an extension to the Blocks range, a small light giving a soft warm spot. The playful front metal ring comes in a selection of different colours making it suitable for a range of interiors, such as children’s rooms, living rooms, working areas and so on. Cubo can be wall-hung or freestanding. The cut of the base enables light to be directed upwards, downards, or at an angle. The light is safe to the touch and will fit into the palm of your hand.

M14 & M22
Having worked with Caesarstone as a product on the Balata ruler, the designer Rona Meyuchas K. noticed whilst at the factory that each and every day a whole skip full of material was being thrown away. She was inspired to design a further product to reduce wastage. The mirror base is sourced from our local manufacturer and is made from reclaimed Caesarstone material off cuts. The mirror simply sits inside the base slot and can be easily removed.

Balata Ruler
My Homes are traditionally hand crafted from birch wood and finished with linseed oil.
The Balata (floor tile in Arabic) ruler is made from high quality reclaimed Caesarstone® often used for flooring.
They make perfect clothes hangers and can be arranged in an ordered or disordered pattern to suit your mood or lifestyle.
The rulers vary in colour according to the reclaimed stock from a local workshop. All rulers are 20cm in length, in line with the traditional floor tile size. They have a polished finish on which the measurements are digitally printed.
My Homes come in 3 shapes and are approximately 13cm high.

The trays are dishwasher safe and measure 31cm in diameter.
