Havelock Studio
Havelock Studio was established in 2015 by Jack Havelock Bailey. Simplicity, beauty and functionality are the three things Havelock Studio aim for when designing and making.
Jack graduated with an Architecture degree but quickly realised his passion lay in his love of designing and making on a smaller scale. Jack's belief is that furniture, products and objects are just like buildings - they need to be meticulously designed, interrogated, considered and refined to produce an exceptional end result.
Working primarily with concrete and wood, Jack makes each design by hand, combining both traditional and modern techniques. The Havelock Studio collection thereby ensures a unity between hands-on craft and digital technology.
Havelock Studio is based in rural Kent.

Brutalist AND beautiful. It's not an easy thing to get right. But Havelock Studio have nailed it with their delicate treatment of this sturdy material. Every coffee table should have a stack of Origami Concrete Coasters to protect the surface and perfect the look.
Size: diameter 9.8 cm x depth 1.2cm
Notes: the coaster has a cork base to protect the table. Clean by hand with warm soapy water. Do not immerse in water.
Boiled eggs. The perfect breakfast delivered in the perfect vessel. This clever concrete egg cup has a fine edge and the 'cup' is convex meaning that any size egg nestles comfortably inside. The egg cup is also hollow which makes it light. Each one is hand poured into bespoke silicone moulds ensuring a uniformity of shape but individual patination means that each egg cup is totally unique.
Size: 6cm
Notes: each one is finished with a food safe sealer to prevent staining. Wash in hot soapy water. Not dishwasher safe.

This is a thing of strength and beauty. Each concrete trivet is poured by hand into a mold ensuring perfection in the shape but individuality in the outcome as each concrete pour behaves differently. The complexity of the seemingly 'folded' surface is in direct competition with the brutality of the concrete, and the outcome is bold, beautiful and useful. What happy pots and pans you'll have!
Notes: the trivet has a cork base to protect the table. Clean, by hand, with warm soapy water.
