Controlled Chaos x

I wrote a post two years ago suggesting a future trend would be a move away from co-ordination and conformity.  The essence of that idea is still seeping into everyday with more and more products either openly embracing individuality or encouraging flexibility of use and imagination.  Granby Workshop, in many ways represents the essence of this movement, as demonstrated by their vitrified ceramic tiles.

Each one is unique and marbled together by hand then sliced and flattened in a 60 tonne hydraulic press.

They stand alone. Or live and breathe together in a wonderful, moving, homogenous whole.

I love.

Great Granby x

How do I love Granby? Let me count the ways..

I love it because it’s a creative company that has grown out of a community-led re-building of a neighbourhood in Liverpool.

I admire it because it’s products are made by many hands.

I adore it because it invites chance and improvisation as a friend.

So every product, and every product of a product, is different.
