Inspired by longevity

Studio Enti is the design practice of Naomi Taplin, producing handmade ceramic lighting and tableware in Sydney, Australia. 

Each unique piece of handmade porcelain is made to be used and enjoyed. A strong belief in the necessity of good design and the principles of longevity and sustainability are the major driving forces behind the work of Studio Enti.

Naomi believes that in order for products to be valued and to fulfil their destiny through use, they need to cleverly cross boundaries of function and beauty, and have imbedded within them an inherent respect for the materials and processes from which they are created.

"At Studio Enti, we have always believed in the power of creating pieces that not only add value aesthetically and functionally, but also stand the test of time. That is why it is crucial for us to make our products locally, by hand, and with sustainability practices in mind. By embracing local craftsmanship, we are able to support talented artisans within our community, honouring their skills and preserving traditional techniques. Handcrafted pieces also possess a unique character and attention to detail that simply cannot be replicated by mass production. 

By utilizing sustainable materials and practices, we not only reduce our environmental impact but also contribute to the longevity and durability of our products. We strive to create pieces that will be cherished by their owners for years to come, forming a deep connection with and appreciation for, the craftsmanship and integrity behind each creation. In a world where fast fashion and disposable items dominate, we believe in the beauty of slow, intentional, and mindful creation".

"The ability to work in the development of everyday objects brings a sense of grounding and purpose to my practice. I am interested in creating beautiful, functional pieces that connect with the human psyche. Pieces that have the ability to tell a story and to enrich the tasks and the lives of the user".
