Welcome to Argonauts: Redefining Craftsmanship
At Argonauts, I combine the artistry of traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge, data-driven design to create contemporary rustic homeware that transcends the ordinary. As a designer-maker, my journey is one of constant evolution—blending the skill of my hands with the precision of modern tools to craft objects that are both functional and meaningful.
Crafting Meaningful Designs
My process revolves around exploring sacred geometry, neo-Gothic aesthetics, and the timeless stories embedded in patterns and materials. Each piece is carefully designed to embody hypnotic visual language and evoke a sense of wonder. Every creation resonates with depth, beauty, and purpose—whether it’s a reclaimed oak candle holder, a statement tableware item, or bespoke furniture.
Sustainability at the Core
Using reclaimed materials, such as old Scottish whisky barrels, I breathe new life into raw wood, creating objects with a rich backstory. This sustainable approach ensures that every piece is not only beautifully designed but also environmentally responsible—perfect for those who value eco-friendly homeware with meaning.
A Journey of Innovation and Tradition
Inspired by thoughtfully designed, well-built objects and driven by a desire to push the boundaries of traditional craftsmanship, I continually experiment with emerging technologies and timeless techniques. This fusion results in unique, meaningful pieces that bring warmth and character to any space.
Transform Your Home
Join me on this creative journey as I transform raw materials into artful, functional pieces that elevate your living space. From rustic furniture to bespoke lighting and handcrafted homeware, Argonauts offers creations that celebrate beauty, sustainability, and timeless craftsmanship.
