Dear readers,
I’m Sara Core, part of PletoStudio, where design begins not with an idea, but with matter — with earth, fiber, and the ancient rhythm of transformation.
Every object we create starts like a quiet ritual. Clay is mixed with water, wool is combed by hand, and the first hint of form appears beneath the fingertips. It’s an alchemy of patience, where raw materials begin to remember who they are.
The world of contemporary design often forgets that everything we touch once belonged to the earth. Yet there’s a beauty that only the natural can teach — the soft resistance of clay, the scent of raw fiber, the way light settles differently on each surface.
At PletoStudio, we treat materials as living beings. Clay breathes. Wool listens. Light moves through them like a pulse — revealing their soul. We don’t force shape upon them; we collaborate with their nature.
When these elements meet, something deeply human happens. A sculptural lamp becomes more than an object — it becomes a presence. The wool diffuses the glow like early morning fog, the clay base holds it like a vessel of memory. Each imperfection turns into poetry.
This is what we call earthly design — not rustic, not nostalgic, but alive. It carries the silence of the mountains, the humility of handwork, and the timeless dialogue between maker and matter.
To hold such a piece is to hold a fragment of the world — warm, imperfect, honest. It’s a reminder that true beauty is not manufactured; it’s born through touch, patience, and light.
With warmth and reverence,
Sara Core
Trends & Style Editor at PletoStudio
