Living with Meaning

We believe objects shape our days, especially those made with care and intention. We look at cultures around the world, where wisdom is passed down and artefacts tell stories. Rooted in authenticity and emotional depth, our pieces inspire comfort, intention, and warmth.

Woven with Purpose

At the heart of Cardoon Studio are four guiding values: Purpose, Natural Materials, Authenticity, and Mindful Living.

These are cared for by the presence of our Ancestors, the Earth, the Makers, and the Future Generations.

We nurture Harmony, Rootedness, Innovation, and Connection. From our design process, to our partners and the stories we share.

More than a Name

Cardoon, pronounced /kɑːˈduːn/, takes its name from a Mediterranean plant known for its silvery strength and quiet resilience. It embodies our ethos: the sun-warmed ease of mindful living, together with our roots in British textile craft. Creating objects made for modern living.

Our Mark was Made

Our logo began as simple shapes, manually cut from paper, reflecting the importance of our hands and soul in every decision. Each edge and curve reminds us that true creation is always personal and imperfect.
