Inspired by the past but built for the future
As a team with over a decade of product design and manufacturing experience, we challenged ourselves to make an uncompromising set of finely crafted brass stationery that balances sleek and timeless design with modern precision engineering. The result is heirloom-quality, solid brass stationery that's incredibly well crafted and built to last lifetimes.
It all started with a phrase you're familiar with: "I guess they just don’t make them like they used to". We're all familar with the poor quality, disposable plastic stationery that's become a hallmark of our society.
So we took a moment to reflect on the past. What did our grandparents' world look like? In that era, products were built with integrity - built to last.
Our goal is to create a high-end stationery collection that touches on the essentials. Designs that are inspired by the past, but built for the future - a marriage of old and new. Get ready to slow down and fall in love with pen and paper all over again.
Every product reflects a dedication to crafting tools of rich substance and timeless legacy. Named after their children, Nat and Mae, and Guy's grandfather, Nathan, this collection embodies a commitment to sustainability, sharing creative passion with future generations, and the joy of thoughtful design.
