The London-based sustainable women’s label plays host to the offcut marble specialist’s sculptures and furniture pieces, in its Marlyebone boutiqueWhen the world ground to a halt earlier this year, the frenetic nature of the fashion industry - driven by sales, seasons and splurges - became even more apparent. Luxury brands spoke of scaling back, revising the frenzied calendar, and working to operate from a measured, more environmentally conscious mindset.
One label which has worked with a slow output since its inception is London-based brand Ssōne. ‘I can have avocado pits sitting on my windowsill for two weeks before I get the colour I need for dyeing! It’s that patience that I find rewarding,’ its founder Caroline Smithson told Wallpaper* earlier this year.There’s a measured mindset behind every stage of the brand’s output - which operates sustainably, with focus on upcycled fabrics.
Ssōne used lockdown for more exploration, considering how to interact with its community in a more creative and educational way. One such result is its collaboration with Marble Partners, the East London-based studio which creates design objects – from candlesticks to side tables, birdhouses to vases – from graphic assemblages of salvaged marble.
