PAISIOS x SALTY BSTRDS
The Bastard Alliance
Christos cracked.
Not by accident but from stillness, from routine, from the weight of doing nothing.
That crack didn’t break him. It opened him.
Through it poured earth, salt, fire.
And from it, he shaped vessels. Not perfect, but purposeful.
Every ceramic he makes is a rebellion against the smooth and the safe — raw forms stitched with meaning, textured with nature’s wild fingerprints.
To seal the cracks, he didn’t hide them. He filled them with art.
And because art attracts the raw, he found Paisios — a silversmith who forges defiance into metal. Together, they crafted objects that aren’t just made. They’re felt.
This is not a collaboration.
This is a bastard alliance — between two artists who don’t create by the rules.
They create because they can’t do otherwise.
Kalanamak
Wounds of the Earth, Healed by Hand
Forged in the spirit of resilience, Kalanamak is a vessel born of fracture and mending. Its deep volcanic texture recalls ancient seabeds, while the silver stitches echo the human impulse to repair — not to erase the damage, but to honour it.
Each scar tells a story. Not of loss, but of survival. Of salt and shadow. Of breaking and becoming.
Crafted by hand, this ceramic form captures the brand’s raw philosophy: embracing the imperfect, the weathered, the reborn.
It stands not despite the crack — but because of it.
- High-temperature clay and 925 sterling silver.
Selected for their strength, contrast, and timeless raw beauty.
Crafted in ritual, kept in salt. Only one of each exists.
