About us

Object Story is a boutique homeware brand founded by me, Alice, in 2020. It originally began as an online store operating from garden shed, which it continues to do! As well as appearing at pop-up events around the UK, including the Edinburgh Fringe and my hometown of Stroud. 

Object Story is a showcase for objects that are in equal parts beautiful, functional, simple and personal. It is shaped by the understanding that the objects that surround us in life – however incidental – are the same items that build memories, and mark the moments we cherish the most.

Everyday “things” are woven into the fabric of our homes and families: whether the silver garlic press that’s been passed down through generations, or the toothbrush holder that anchors a thousand bedtime routines.

Over time, Object Story has naturally evolved. I am taking a break from stocking objects from artisan makers, and have turned my attention to making beautiful table lamps using vintage stoneware jars and artisan vessels sourced from across the UK. Each lamp is unique, telling its own story and preserving a piece of history.

 

Sustainable design and traditional craft play an important role in the objects I source. In many ways, then, Object Story speaks to a slower, simpler way of life – bridging the gap between practical and joyful, and elevating the landscape of the everyday.
