Fewer things.
Better ones.

We make a short range of homewares properly, then stop. Linen, ceramics and hardwood, produced in runs small enough to check by hand.

Why we started

Thornfield began with a complaint. We'd bought a set of plates that chipped inside a month, from a brand that wouldn't tell us which factory made them.

So we started at the other end — find the maker first, then design the thing. Everything we sell comes from a workshop we've stood in.

We run small on purpose. It keeps the quality checkable and it means we're never sitting on stock we have to discount to move.

Workshop detail

Looking after it

Most of this improves with use, provided you don't fight it.

Linen

Cold machine wash on a gentle cycle, line dry in shade. Skip fabric softener — it coats the fibre and stops it breathing. Expect it to soften for about twenty washes.

Stoneware

Dishwasher safe, though handwashing keeps the glaze brighter over years. Don't go fridge to oven; thermal shock cracks stoneware, not age.

Timber

Hand wash, dry standing up. Re-oil every few months with a food-safe oil. Never leave it sitting in water.

Wool

Air it more than you wash it. When it does need washing, wool cycle or cold hand wash, dry flat out of sun.

Questions

How long does delivery take?

Most metropolitan orders arrive in 2–4 business days from Hobart. Regional and remote addresses can take up to a week. Tracking is emailed as soon as it's attached.

Do you ship internationally?

Not at the moment. We post within Australia only.

Can I return something?

Unused and unwashed, within 30 days, yes. If a piece fails in ordinary use we'll replace it regardless of how long you've had it.

Are these made in Australia?

Most of them. Where a piece is made overseas — the linen in particular — we say so on the product and we've visited the mill.

Do you restock sold-out pieces?

Usually, though small runs mean gaps of a few weeks. The maker sets the pace, not us.

Is the packaging recyclable?

Yes. Paper tape, cardboard and paper void fill — no plastic in the box.
