Vide Poche by Henry Wilson

Vide Poche by Henry Wilson Discard your day at the door. Your Vide Poche is designed with your loose-pocket items in mind – think keys, change and phone. It is made, polished and finished in Sydney, Australia in solid aluminium. Sand casting is as much about negative space as it is about form, which is why the object is reversible so consider both sides of your dish. Vide Poche is manufactured in small batches meaning slight variations will occur from piece to piece. Production marks may include slight pour ripples or surface pitting. It will arrive with a bright finish but will oxidize and darken over time to reveal a distinctive patina. Simply use a metal polish to restore a like-new finish. Vide Poche are 180 x 180 x 35mm and come boxed. Henry Wilson's work combines a rational, democratic utility with an element of sculptural expression. There is a clear form and function in our products, but it’s important they also have feeling. We are interested in the awkward beauty that comes from something made by hand. We like to explore how imperfection can be introduced into an industrial process, to make something at scale that retains a sense of individual charm.
