MAKE International is passionate about searching for fresh designers to collaborate with to bring its customers the variety of distinctive products and designs that they are looking for. MAKE looks to create items that are practical, high-quality, stylish and, above all, make people’s lives better. The company was established in 2005 by Dominic Speelman and joined forces with renowned ceramicist Keith Brymer Jones in 2008. Together the two have expanded the internationally successful Keith Brymer Jones ranges, in addition to growing MAKE’s brand portfolio to include fresh brand Scion and upcoming designers Jane Foster and Becky Baur. There are many more exciting partnerships on the horizon too, including designers Layla Faye, Hokolo and Designer’s Guild. MAKE International manufacture products for all of the designers they work with. As Head of Design, Keith Brymer Jones personally collaborates with every designer that MAKE works with to create unique products that represent the style and story behind each brand perfectly. Keith’s experience stretches back over twenty years, having started as an apprentice at Harefield Pottery before hand-making ceramics for retailers including Conran, Heals, Habitat, Marks and Spencers, Ted Baker, Bergdorf Goodman, Barneys New York and Anthropology. Keith continues to throw every shape in all of the ceramic ranges produced by MAKE on his potter’s wheel at his studio, a converted bakery in Whitstable, Kent. He then works with MAKE’s expert product supervisors in China to sample the products on the factory floor to match the same high specifications as the pieces made at home in his studio. Quality is precedent and for this reason every item is checked at least three times once it is made in order to meet extremely high standards. MAKE International has distributors in Australia, Norway, The Faroe Islands, Iceland, Finland, Belgium, New Zealand, Denmark, Sweden, the US, Canada and the Netherlands and agents in Germany.
