These sketches were never meant to leave my notebook.

They were created during a time when self-doubt was louder than belief.


When every idea was met with another voice telling me to make it smaller, safer, more acceptable. I listened. For a long time.
Then I found the words that talked back—three of them, in fact. Do It Anyway. Without Apology. Dare. Not instructions from the doubt. What overruled it. Now they're prints. The actual pencil lines that were never supposed to leave the studio—every stroke, every hesitation, kept exactly as they were before the doubt could get to them.

AS SEEN IN

“Nobody will want this.”
“It's too much.”
“Who do you think you are?”

For a long time, I designed with one question in mind: will it sell?

But somewhere along the way, that question changed. It became: will it tell the story?

Because I realised that the work I'm most proud of was never created from
confidence. It was created in spite of doubt.

These sketches became Phoenix, Le Drape and Cuddle Me. Pieces that
only exist because I kept drawing while believing every lie my mind was telling
me. This print release isn't about the finished furniture.

It's about the conversation that almost stopped it from existing. Maybe you'll recognise one of those voices. I hope it reminds you not to let it have the final word.

WHO IS THIS FOR

People who know one of those voices.

You've heard you're not ready in your own voice. This print isn't decoration for you. It's evidence that the voice can be wrong.

People who've followed the work.

You've watched these pieces get made, and the furniture's waitlist has kept it out of reach. This is the page where it almost didn't happen, and the closest way in.

Collectors of provenance.

You want the origin, not the reproduction. These are the notebook pages themselves, numbered, signed, in a closed edition.

WHAT YOU'RE CLAIMING

The sketch, as it was.

A fine art print of the original notebook page, reproduced to archival standards. Not cleaned up. The doubt stays visible, because the doubt is the point.

A number that will never be repeated.

Numbered by hand, 1 through 300, recorded in the archive. When an edition reaches 300, it closes. No second run.

Signed by hand, embossed into the paper

Your signature and edition number in pencil, and the studio's mark pressed into the sheet itself. Nothing loose to file away, nothing that can be reprinted.

A feather or a piece of fur, inside every package.

The materials we use to finish the pieces themselves. When you open the box, you hold part of the physical work before the print ever reaches the wall.

Why Now

Most studios release their best angles. The finished piece, styled, lit, resolved.

We're releasing the opposite: the pages where the work almost stopped. Because after years of showing the process, the grain matching, the steel, the mistakes, this felt like the last honest thing we hadn't shown. The part before the process even starts.

The furniture is made-to-measure, built by hand, with a waitlist that stretches into years. That's the cost of doing things properly. But it meant the beginning of the story was never something you could own.

Now it is. Once.

The Process

Do It Anyway, Without Apology or Dare Most people know immediately which one is theirs. Or take all three; they were never
separate in real life either.

Framed in museum-grade art glass or left unframed for you—either way, with a pair of art handling gloves, because this isn't meant to be handled carelessly. Choose from, Unframed, Black, White, American Oak or Walnut.

The print, the signed certificate, and the feather or fur from the finishing process. Packaged to arrive perfect, shipped worldwide, taxes included.

The Promise

Fine art prints are a considered purchase. We understand that.

If your print arrives and it isn't right, the paper, the finish, the detail, tell us
within 30 days. We replace it or refund you in full, your choice, and we cover the return. Your edition number stays reserved for you during a replacement,
because the number is yours, not the paper's.

This studio was built without investors and without shortcuts. Our name is
signed on every one of these. That's the promise.

A FEW THINGS WORTH SAYING OUT LOUD

No, and we won't pretend otherwise. The furniture is the ending. This is the beginning, the page where it almost stopped. It's a different thing, and honestly, it's the more personal one.
We can't promise appreciation, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. What's factual: 300 exist per print, that never changes, and the provenance is signed and documented. Buy it because one of the titles hit you. That's the only honest reason, and coincidentally the safest one.
Most collectors would. The specs are listed in full, and the 30-day promise above exists exactly for this. If it arrives and it's not right, we make it right.
You don't need to. You need to know whether one of those three sentences sounded familiar. That's the entire qualification.
300 per sketch, three sketches, 900 in total, ever. When an edition reaches 300 it closes permanently. No reprints.
