There are a thousand ways to say ‘thank you, Mum’.
Colourful bouquets, shiny jewellery, tender words in the hollow of a card.
And then, sometimes, there's a discreet object. Something we use without thinking about it, but which tells us something every day.
This year, we wanted to say things differently.
Not with something we give out of habit, but with something that lasts.
Something you can touch, use and keep.
Something that lives with you.
Giving an everyday object... but not like the others
At KØMET, we create earthenware tableware designed for simple gestures: a cup of coffee at dawn, a shared slice of cake, an impromptu salad on a summer's evening.
Giving your mother a plate, a cup or a bowl isn't something you do very often.
And that's exactly what we like about it.
It's a tender, discreet gesture that says:
"You deserve beauty, even in the simplest things.
‘I've chosen you something made with care, like you've always done.’
A unique gift for a unique person.
With us, each piece is handcrafted in our workshop in Aveyron.
They have their own nuances, their own slight differences.
Like the people we love, they are never quite the same. And that's what makes them so precious.
To give a KØMET piece is to give an object with a soul.
An object designed to last. To accompany. To become part of everyday life, without ever becoming commonplace.
To say thank you, quite simply.
No shiny box or commercial promise.
Just a genuine object, made from the heart, to say thank you without grand speeches.
May 26th is coming up.
We've put together a selection of items to give as gifts, to choose from, or to keep for yourself.
Genuine objects to slip onto the table... and perhaps into your memories.
