Ludlow Dining Chair
$349
Powder-coated steel frame, bouclé seat, stackable. The silhouette of a chair three times the price.
Steel-framed chairs are where we'd save. Nobody sits down and checks the maker's mark — they notice the line and the comfort.

Iron & Ash
Hammered Dome Pendant, 70cm
$790
Hand-hammered blackened steel, antique brass interior. 70cm diameter, adjustable chain.

Brass & Stone
Wall-Mounted Mixer, Matte Black
$640
Solid brass body, matte black electroplated finish, 220mm spout. WELS rated.
