Decor / Sculpture & surface
Decorative Accents
Decorative pieces for shelves and tables
Scale, weight and finish matter when a small object sits beside a vase or lamp. Develop a single accent or a family of pieces with related proportions.
Product range
Decorative vessels
Specify the opening, proportions and surface treatment. Let sales know if the vessel must hold water for fresh flowers.
Candleholders
Give the candle type and dimensions at the outset. Check holder fit, base stability and clearance for the intended use.
Decorative trays
Choose the footprint, rim height and underside finish for a console or dresser. Specify the surface and objects the tray will carry.
Materials
Ceramic
Slip-cast or hand-finished shapes take glazes from matte to glossy. A fired sample shows the way glaze gathers in relief.
Cast resin
A mould can pick up fine detail in figures and relief panels. Discuss seam placement and the paint finish on raised features.
Metal
Cast, pressed or bent parts suit stands, frames and trays. Specify alloy, visible seams and the preferred brushed or coated finish.
Wood
Turning and carving can reveal grain through a clear or tinted finish. Compare samples for natural variation across a set.
Manufacturing process
-
Approve the silhouette
Use a drawing or model to set the size, weight and standing position before finishing the first sample.
-
Develop the surface
Compare painted, glazed, polished or stained samples beside the approved colour reference.
-
Check contact points
Inspect feet, supports and exposed edges. Specify protective pads and packaging for projecting or fragile parts.
Reports matched to the use
Identify whether the SKU is ornamental, water-holding or intended to hold a lit candle. Sales can match available reports to the material, finish and destination and arrange additional stability, heat or coating tests with Intertek or SGS where appropriate.
Samples and production
We usually send samples by DHL. Projecting details and fragile finishes may need a fitted insert. Sales will confirm sample packing and production timing for the approved design.
