A gesture of courtesy, turned into objects.

Manners Matter is a collection of accessories designed to celebrate the art of hosting. More than just functional, these pieces make a statement: they offer an experience that is elegant, thoughtful, and meaningful. Each item in the kit was conceived as a silent gesture of hospitality.

Material

The choice of Dekton was intentional. This next-generation material, inspired by natural stone, allows for high-precision finishes and exceptional durability. Its visual quality — warm and mineral — stands in poetic contrast to the fleeting nature of a gathering, highlighting the tension between the ephemeral and the enduring
