Frequently Asked Questions

What is single-fired stoneware and how does it differ from other ceramics?

Single-firing refers to a kiln process in which the clay body and glaze are fired together in one pass rather than two. This approach preserves more of the material's natural texture and character, often resulting in a surface that feels more geological and less uniform than double-fired ceramics.

Can the Carmel Coffee Table be used outdoors?

Yes. The Carmel Coffee Table is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Stoneware is a dense, low-porosity ceramic, making it more resistant to moisture than earthenware, though it is best kept out of prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures.

Who is OEO Studio and what is their design approach?

OEO Studio is a Copenhagen-based design practice founded by Thomas Lykke and Anne-Marie Buemann. The studio is known for work that draws on craft traditions and materiality, often collaborating with artisans to produce objects with a strong handmade sensibility alongside considered contemporary form.

How are the Carmel tables typically grouped or styled?

The Carmel is offered in several sizes specifically to allow layered, clustered arrangements. Grouping tables of varying heights creates a sculptural composition, while a single piece functions equally well as a standalone accent in a living or lounge setting.

Is the Carmel Coffee Table made to order?

Yes. As a made-to-order piece, lead times will vary depending on the selected size and colorway. It is advisable to consult with a design specialist early in a project to account for production and delivery timelines.
