One of a Kind
Each of these sponges was hand-harvested from the Aegean Sea by diving families in Greece. We release this collection just two to three times a year — only when nature allows. No two are alike. Once they're gone, they're gone until next season.

These are not production sponges. They are collector-grade natural specimens, selected for their sculptural form, density, and character. We harvest only two to three times a year, timed to the sponge's natural growth cycle so the seabed can fully regenerate between each dive. This is not a supply constraint. It is a commitment.
On colour. The tone of each sponge tells you exactly where in the Aegean it was found. The deeper the harvest depth, the darker and richer the colour, pulled from cold, still water far below the surface. The bright golden-yellow varieties have been finished in a traditional Greek lemon and lime solution and sun-dried, giving them their distinctive bleached warmth. Both are entirely natural. Both are entirely beautiful.

Harvested by hand, from the sea floor
Our diving families in Greece have been harvesting sponges for generations. Each specimen is cut individually, cured naturally, and shipped whole, retaining all the character of its original form. We return to the sea only two to three times a year, allowing the sponge beds to regenerate fully between harvests. The colour of each piece is a record of its depth: darker tones come from deeper, colder water; the golden varieties are finished in a natural Greek lemon and lime solution and sun-dried in the traditional way.

A living object for your home
Place them in a bathroom, on a shelf, beside a bath. They soften a space the way a piece of driftwood or coral does, naturally, without effort. This is the kind of thing you keep for years and hand down.
Caring for your decor sponge
These are sculptural, delicate pieces, not bath sponges. Display them somewhere they can breathe. To keep them dust-free, simply submerge briefly in water, let them fluff up naturally, then set aside to air dry. No products, no scrubbing. Just water, air, and time.
