Cath and Jeremy Brown’s Devon lifestyle studio produces superlative yet simple homeware
So what exactly is Feldspar?
A design studio that produces simple, timeless and beautifully made objects for both the traditional and modern home.
Tell me about the brand ethos?
Feldspar’s philosophy is to create ‘objects for life’ – items that can be used everyday and cherished for decades. There’s a belief in local sourcing and sustainability, with everything handcrafted and made from the best materials available near the couple’s workspace in Devon.
What inspired Cath and Jeremy to start the brand?
The couple’s move from inner-city life in Hackney to rural Devon helped ignite the beginnings of the brand. Wanting to start a design practice, they took inspiration from objects around them, including those belonging to their grandparents. They were impressed that pieces from centuries ago – tiny 400-year-old mugs, for example – still looked fresh and relevant to today’s aesthetics. The couple knew from the start that they had to create objects to last, not wanting to add to the overwhelming amount of ‘stuff’ in the modern world.
Why the move to Devon?
