The Basalt Collection

The Basalt Collection is inspired by our deep appreciation for the natural world, and most specifically, the earth beneath our feet.

Each piece in this collection features rich black ceramics, a material we treat as both sensual and elemental—a symbolic stand-in for basalt, the dark volcanic rock that forms much of our planet’s foundation.

Basalt is forged in fire, created when lava rich in iron and magnesium cools rapidly. It’s the most abundant rock on Earth, making up over 90% of volcanic formations. It doesn’t just sit beneath us—it supports life itself, grounding us in the literal and symbolic sense.

To us, basalt represents power, mystery, and connection to something ancient and awe-inspiring. It’s not just rock—it’s earth, and in volcanic moments, it gives us fleeting access to the fiery mantle of the planet.

Our local landscape in Bargara, Queensland is shaped by basalt. You’ll find it along our beaches and beneath our feet, in the fertile, iron-rich red soil that nourishes everything from crops to creativity.

These surroundings have inspired the collection’s colour palette—sumptuous blacks, deep reds, and flashes of vivid blues and greens, evoking the sea, the sky, and the enduring spirit of the land.
