Although Sophia strives for beauty in each product, utility is at the core of her work - making sure each product can be cherished not only for its beauty but for its functionality, as this is what makes sure we buy once and buy well.
Sophia works in sustainably sourced hardwoods, utilising wood which would otherwise go to waste. Fibres for brooms are all low resource fibres which are biodegradable. Each wooden product is finished with 100 % natural and food safe Tung Oil and packaged in minimal paper packaging.
Function and Form is an amalgamation of utilitarian design and simple sustainable materials. Each collection is design and handmade by Sophia Elouise in York, North Yorkshire.
Function because they are formed from hardwoods and other biodegradable natural materials which last generations, and form because they are created to be something of simple beauty. Sophia aims to create pieces which sit sculpturally on our shelves, bringing us joy and contentment, but can be used every day and be part of our lives.
