Exploring the “Little Things” That Lead to Big Magic With departo

New to the Design Milk Shop, departo creates more than dinnerware. The brainchild of design powerhouses Yabu Pushelberg and Stellar Works, the brand was born in 2019 with a core mission to “create possibilities through permanence” – their expertly designed objects are the visual translations of this idea, and they speak to us on every level. Find departo in the Design Milk shop here, and read on to learn more about the concept behind the craft.

Inspired by life’s momentum, departo sees spaces as constantly in motion. For them, the notion of space is predicated on new discoveries existing behind every corner and a boundless free-roaming energy. With this in mind, departo pieces anchor us to the present moment, wherever in the world that might be. Featuring earthy neutral color palettes and artfully minimal and geometric shapes, every object in the departo collection can make a statement on its own or speak volumes together. So regardless of how you choose to dress your table (wherever it is), departo pieces represent the little things that inch us forward on life’s journey. These essential, everyday items made with fixed, permanent materials – ceramic, cast-iron and glass – are “the little things” imbued with endless magic and possibilities that enrich our daily lives. And in a world that feels like it’s forever in transit, it’s thoughtfully designed accessible pieces like departo’s that help create a sense of home.

The Little Bowls can even be combined to create an eye-catching centerpiece! There are tons of timeless colorways to choose from, though we’re partial to Slate Gray and Tobacco especially for this time of year.
