Why do a Maker Session?
Luxury goods exist to make us happier, improve our lives, and by investing alittle of your own time in the creation of these exclusive Charlie Whinney Studio artefacts we believe you get the maximum benefits. Be it something for your home or a present for a loved one, when you have seen something born under your own hands and it is perfect, then it instantly becomes an heirloom; treasures which will only improve with age and transcends fashion.
The collection of ‘Maker Sessions’ products draw on 15 years of Charlie’s practice creating over 100 design and fine art projects around the world including large scale permanent installations in cities including Tokyo, Singapore, London and Washington DC. Charlie returns to where he started working on sustainable product design. These products are our first tiny step in the right direction in terms of how our ‘luxury needs’ should be fulfilled in the future, in the context of our changing world and climate.

CurlyShade Green Lampshade
The latest edition of Charlie's iconic Curlyshade, we love the marriage of geometric shapes and organic abstract coils that make each one unique. Curlyshade Green is in fact the most eco-friendly and robust version of this design ever as the it is not steam-bent; instead you will be mastering the tricky art of ‘green-bending’. Dimensions: 50cm x 50cm x 50cm Weight 2.4KG Market Value approx. £750
£300.00Sale endedUnfired Vase
Repeated twisted organic shapes rotate around to create a stunning focus. Nestled inside is an antique glass vessel that holds the water for flowers. This is a great chance to try some extreme shapes repeated as a small batch using a simple wooden jig. Called the ‘Unfired Vase’ this design only requires the steam-chamber for about 15 minutes and uses top-quality Ash from trees felled due to Ash die-back. Dimensions: 15cm x 15cm x 30cm Weight 1KG Market Value approx. £300, you save £205!
