LRNCE
Joining Liberty's Marrakech Edit, marking the brand's largest ever foray into the UK with an exclusive collection, Moroccan-based LRNCE was founded in 2013 by Belgian designer Laurence Leenaert and is a Marrakech based lifestyle brand with a focus on handmade goods.
Originally specialising in leather bags, LRNCE’s range of work grew organically over the years as Laurence met with artisans and sampled new products.
Made by spontaneously combining shapes, materials, and colour, its one-of-a-kind hand-made pieces celebrate artistic design, the Moroccan community and local craftsmanship.
All of LRNCE’s goods are made by hand or have a hand-made touch. Traditional craftsmanship is rooted in the culture of Marrakech and is at the heart of the brand. It may take a bit more time, but the brand professes to enjoy the individuality of handmade products, with two items never quite the same.

Nishikawa
Specialists in sourcing the finest, authentic Japanese ceramics, the traditional tea ceremony lies at the heart of Nishikawa’s hand-selected creations. Based in Kyoto’s famed ceramics district Gojōzaka, the brand’s name derives from original engravings that have adorned its tea utensils since being founded in 1917.
Approaching traditional design with a contemporary point of view, Nishikawa elegantly combines time-honoured Japanese tea utensils with modern forms for a beautiful array of artisanal pieces. Using knowledge and experience accumulated over a rich and storied history, Nishikawa meticulously selects pieces from throughout Japan to create a curation of ceramics that is as captivating for its artistry as it is for its hand-spun delicacy.

Astier de Villatte
After inheriting a kiln from his father, Benoît Astier de Villatte joined forces with Ivan Pericoli to found the brand in 1996. A flagship store and artisan workshop followed suit and has persevered over two decades. Each piece starts as a single sheet of black terracotta clay extracted from quarries in the Paris Basin. It is then hand shaped by Tibetan artisans to leave deliberate imperfections and is inscribed with each potter’s initials. Surprisingly light to hold, every piece speaks to a Parisian luxury that has defined the cult world of Astier de Villatte.

HAY
HAY has collaboration in its DNA, nurturing young talent and working with designers across the world. Founded in 2002, at the heart of everything the Danish label does is an elegant playfulness inspired by mid-20th century Scandinavian design – encouraging a return to the innovative style of the 1950s and 1960s. Inspired by the glory days of mid-20th century Scandinavian design, the brand, sitting somewhere between architecture and fashion, explores and responds to the needs of contemporary life.

Vista Alegre
With an illustrious history stretching back more than 200 years, Vista Alegre’s place within Portuguese heritage and identity is assured. The brand was originally formed by José Ferreira Pinto Basto in 1824 and issued with the Royal Licence by King João VI of Portugal in the same year. Having established a reputation for expertly crafted and refined porcelain serveware and crockery, Vista Alegre’s Royal credentials were sealed in 1955, when President Francisco Craveiro Lopes presented Queen Elizabeth II with a specially made dinner set during his State Visit to the UK. Each piece in the collection is produced by a dedicated team of skilled technicians, with each brushstroke conveying its signature sense of understated artistry.

Aterio Home

Each piece is realised by master artisans using noble materials such as resin, bone, brass, mother-of-pearl, and fine woods.
Rooted in clean lines, geometric forms and Art Deco elegance, every creation balances beauty with intention. With bespoke at its core, Aterio Home creates sculptural furniture and accessories that bring individuality, warmth, and enduring elegance to interiors of distinction.
