we believe that spending time together, creating, and putting value into your home, wherever it may be, are some of the most important things in life. our goal is to emulate that through the passion we bring to hand crafting modern home goods.
each of our products is intentionally curated to serve a purpose, both practically and aesthetically. we create each piece from the ground up, starting in the design stages through to the finished product. we hand pour our concrete in small batches to achieve specific colors and consistency, this also makes each item have it’s own character and be completely one of a kind. we finish each item by hand, so we can take great care in the small details of our work.
we often have people ask us why we started ardor home goods. the truth is, we, like most millennials, wanted a side hustle to allow us a creative outlet, community, and something fun to do with one another. so we started experimenting with concrete in 2016. as years pass, and we haul concrete into our studio, out of our studio and back in, we question, ‘why didn’t we choose something lighter?’, but concrete has an interesting character that is so intriguing to us. no piece is identical, and we can make something we’ve made 20 times already, and have something turn out in a way that we didn’t expect. there is so much for us to learn, new techniques, new products and fun creative adventures, and we can honestly say that we don’t think we’ll get bored of this anytime soon, and we’ll be around for a while.
sincerely,
