NoN Object No. 1 - Catch All

Materials: Stainless Steel, Ash

Before interiors, founder Jamie McGlinchey trained as a metalsmith and long imagined this catch-all in stainless steel. Its earliest form, however, was softer: a hand-shaped clay prototype formed in NoN Studio’s Greenpoint workspace, rolled with a whisky bottle to find its silhouette. Three small dots along the edge remain, a quiet signature of process.

That form was later reinterpreted in metal by a local fabricator in New York, specializing in bespoke blacksmithing. Each piece is shaped by hand over a carved tree stump, scorched by flame, then hammered into ash. The process fuses material and gesture, imprinting char, texture, and subtle variation into the steel.

Every catch-all is one of a kind, an artifact of making that embraces imperfection and remembers the hand that made it.
