Materials & Care

Inspiration for the designs come from many things: The shapes are inspired by organic forms in nature and objects found in travels around the world. The colors are inspired by delicious translucent popsicles, candies, and jelly beans.

The pieces in the collection are hand sculpted by Tina Frey in San Francisco, California. Sculpting starts with an idea that is cohesive with the rest of the collection.

When the clay design is completed, hand-made molds are created for each object. The molds are used to cast each item individually by hand in small batches by color. Slight color variations between batches contribute to the beauty and uniqueness of each piece.

After the pieces are cast and removed from the mold, they are hand sanded. They are truly made with care. In this way, we can ensure the quality and integrity of each piece.

Care instructions

Hand wash with mild soap if necessary.

Should the resin piece become scratched, use a non-abrasive pad (such as Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or Scotchbrite) with warm water and mild soap. Rub in circular motions to remove scratches.

Do not use in a dishwasher, microwave or high heat.

Resin can sometimes become frosty after washing. If this occurs, simply rub a tiny drop of vegetable oil onto the surface with a soft cloth to restore its luster. The frosty appearance can also be left alone as this can be preferred. It does not affect the quality and usage of the item.

Avoid use of sharp objects or knives on the resin surface. Although resin is shatter resistant, it can break if dropped on the ground.

For brass, stainless steel, or copper plated brass, handwash with mild soap and water.  Avoid use of chemical cleaners, acids, and abrasives as this can result in damage to the surface.  Brass and copper can tarnish over time when exposed to the environment.  This is natural and the resulting patina can be preferred.  Alternatively, the tarnish can be removed and polished.  We recommend Weiman Brass Polish and a soft flannel cloth to rub the polish on the surface and buff gently to restore the original luster and shine.
