Fernware

Fernware is a range of original handmade tableware designs by Lara Thomas. Functional works of art, made to be used, with the intention of elevating the everyday and bringing a little extra to the ordinary. 

Influenced by the principles of biophilic design, Fernware is a way of inviting the outside in.

Reminiscent of fossils, Fernware speaks of a specific time and place – each piece carefully crafted and impressed with real fern leaves, hand picked from our local environment. Through impressing the clay with leaves gathered from places I walk, each piece becomes a physical connection between nature and table.

Fernware aims to enhance the daily rituals of eating and drinking by putting you in touch with nature and helping you get your daily dose of ‘green’. Through linking the actions of growth and consumption, Fernware serves as a reminder of the vital role plants play in our wellbeing and encourages reflection on the ways we choose to consume.
