In an increasingly design-conscious world, discerning clients seek not just products, but experiences—tactile, visual, and emotional. This is precisely where the synergy between VAIDAVA CERAMICS and Sawn becomes so compelling. Both brands uphold a shared philosophy: timeless craftsmanship, natural materials, and an appreciation for purposeful design.
Sawn, based in Australia and working with VAIDAVA’s Asia Pacific partner NuNord, specialises in creating one of a kind handcrafted timber tables that are a celebration of Australian hardwoods.
The founder of Sawn, industrial designer Paul Hulsinga, is intent on changing the timber furnishing industry in Australia. Using storm-affected and naturally-fallen trees to create a special place to break bread with your kin. The raw material is so unique that no two pieces will ever be the same. Each piece is tied to its intrinsic story, the life it led, the beauty it added to its surrounding environment and now its new life.
The Grey Box Slab Table, showcased in the images provided, exemplifies Sawn’s meticulous approach. Combined with the outstanding photo shoot location of Phillip Island in Australia’s southeast (home to the world famous fairy penguins) it generates a product that demands presence, yet humbly bows to the surrounding architecture and nature beyond.
Adorned with the minimalist yet earthy tones of VAIDAVA’s CERAMICS tableware, the soft, matte finish and warm, terracotta underglaze of VAIDAVA Earth RAW Collection complement the natural grain and tone of Sawn’s timber surfaces with effortless harmony.
This image, which captures a full table set for an intimate gathering, speaks volumes about the atmosphere both brands cultivate—spaces made for connection, warmth, and elevated simplicity.
What makes the collaboration between VAIDAVA and Sawn so compelling is the alignment of core values. VAIDAVA is deeply rooted in Latvian ceramic traditions, and every plate and bowl carries the influence of Northern European heritage fused with modern sensibility. Sawn, on the other hand, draws from Australia’s natural abundance, crafting each piece with a reverence for material authenticity. In both cases, there’s a celebration of locality, sustainability, and small-batch production.
Together both brands crystallise a fuller story—of homes curated with integrity, tables where aesthetic and function coexist seamlessly. VAIDAVA’s products elevate dining moments; Sawn’s creations frame them. When paired, they turn everyday meals into rituals of beauty and grounding. reflecting a lifestyle that appreciates slow living, material honesty and enduring design.
