OLIO is a new, evolving body of work centred around mixed metals, using natural bronze, white bronze, and brass together in one form. Each piece is hand sculpted from clay or wax, and then cast directly to preserve each deliberate fold and crevice of the texture, in various metal mixes.

The name itself, OLIO, evokes the viscosity and sensuality of oil as the metals melt and mould themselves around one another, giving life to a molten piece of art.

OLIO Pull No. 1 can be used as a cabinet or door pull to elevate any living, kitchen, and bath space.

Cast from solid bronze or brass and finished by hand in a small, family-run foundry in South Asia.

meet the maker: Maha Alavi

Maha Alavi is a Toronto-based industrial designer. Her practice aims to explore context through connection and creation, informed by her prior training in philosophy and psychology.

Alavi takes inspiration from travel — the way daily rhythms shift throughout different global geographies. She is fascinated by the influence of objects on people and spaces, and construction of cultural archetypes through design. Alavi cites places like Berlin, Tokyo, and Singapore as major sources of inspiration for her work. Time spent in cities so connected to both industry and nature have created a sensibility that focuses on detail and balance, and nurtured an understanding of light and seasons eventually inspiring her first hardware series, CERCLE.

Through her unique lens Alavi transfigures both daily routines and unique experiences into exciting explorations of space and form. When designing, Alavi considers continuity in form and philosophy: the design must communicate its intent holistically and succinctly.
