The Bite Magazine - Spring/Summer 2020 - Issue 27

bite lifestyle “I am a designer with a million and one ideas floating in my head, it’s just about being able to pick one and focus on it, and seeing it develop from an idea in my head to a squig- gly sketch on a napkin to a full design concept, followed by getting messy in the studio to form the final design and piece.” Therefore, the perks in being a ceramic designer and having her own label are possessing full control of her ideas and being able to be innovative, without boundaries and constraints. Timea uses an elegant, timeless colour pallet of soft whites to create her collection but has also produced commission coloured pieces to match her clients’ décor and colour schemes. She mainly uses clay, but outside of her work she has enjoyed exploring the qualities of hardwood and textiles. “I just like to see objects of desire emerge from raw materi- als.” Taking huge pleasure in seeing her bowls, vases, trinket boxes and candles displayed in the environment and setting they were designed for, she finds photoshoots are “a fantastic opportunity to set the scene and create a visual feel for how the pieces would enhance the client’s home.” You will experi- ence the same vibes with her organic scented candles which will fill your home with the fresh fragrances of Vanilla, First Bluebell of Spring, Lavender, White Jasmine, Violet & Sweet Pea, or Fresh Linen. Timea Sido’s natural candles are hand-poured into their lux- urious off-white ceramic holders and finished with a ceramic lid featuring their signature tangled heart or circle motif. “These charming, subtly scented candles are perfect for the bedroom, sitting room, and bathroom. Once the candle has melted away, you are left with a beautiful keepsake for your trinkets.” Made in the UK from 100% organic plat wax, the candles are free from any paraffin products or animal-de- rived ingredients. Furnish your home with beautifully elegant ceramic vessels and vases that are individually handcrafted in fine white earthenware and finished in a lovely lustrous off-white glaze. Designed to create a relaxing and natural atmosphere, the larger vessels make a stunning centrepiece for a room while the smaller and slender vessels look stunning clustered to- gether on a dressing table or mantelpiece. They are also per- fect as a gift for birthdays, weddings, and special occasions. The nine-piece collection includes the Tangled Web Deco- rative V Vessel, a stunning and luxurious decorative vessel constructed from delicate organic clay lines to form a lace- like tangled structure. The Little Teardrop Vase is an elegant, sculpted little ceramic vase featuring a teardrop-shaped rim perfect for displaying small flowers or single buds. Another beautiful piece is the Tangled Web Bud Vessel, a graceful ce- ramic bud vessel with the signature filigree ‘tangled’ pattern and a hidden glass tube to add function. Timea also makes tea light holders, trinket boxes, indoor planters, decorative bowls, reed diffusers, candlesticks, lighting, hanging decorations, and gift sets.
