Bali. People. Frangipani.
In Balinese workshops, we met the people whose work shapes the Frangipani collection. We revisit those encounters and the daily life of the workshops.

01 / Craft
Up close. By touch.
Look closely at a vase's edge, its tonal shifts and the slight irregularities of its surface. These details give a handmade object its character: two examples of the same design may differ slightly.
In the showroom, compare textures up close, from smooth surfaces to pronounced relief. Notice how the object's surface changes as you walk around it.

Craft, up close.
02 / Materials
The same material. A different light.
Light changes the way stone reveals its pattern. Look at it by a window, then beside a lamp: different veins, tonal shifts and surface details will emerge.
Light and dark chess pieces show how much contrast alone can achieve. When choosing an object, compare its tone with the tabletop and the wall. Check whether its details remain clear from a few steps away and at different times of day.
03 / Interiors
Begin with one object.
Give a large vase or sculpture some space. A smaller piece can sit on a stable sideboard; a larger one can stand on the floor beside it. View it from the room's entrance before adding more objects.
Leave room on a table for everyday use. A low object allows people sitting opposite each other to talk comfortably; a taller piece can be placed to one side. Before choosing a size, mark out its base on the surface with paper or tape.
