Commissions
Commissions
Commission enquiries are considered for private collectors, distilleries and custodians of significant cooperage.
A commission begins with the material and the evidence available for it, not with a catalogue finish. Where a cask carries a specific origin or history, that story is used only when the supporting record permits it.
The design response is then developed around the material, intended setting, functional brief and the level of documentary provenance required.
Private Collectors
Individually considered works for private collections and interiors, developed around object, setting and provenance.
Distilleries
Provenance-led conversations using legitimately released cooperage, with naming and collaboration language agreed rather than assumed.
Significant Casks
Material with unusual or important history may be considered where identity, release and chain of custody can be documented.
Collaborations
Selected creative, institutional or producer collaborations are considered where material truth and purpose remain aligned.
Begin with the cask.
The first conversation is about the material, what can be evidenced about it, what the finished work is being asked to preserve and how that history will be documented.
