Studio Enti, the Sydney-based lighting and tableware maker founded by Naomi Taplin, is entering an exciting new phase. With a philosophy rooted in intentional design, craftsmanship and sustainability, the brand is unveiling a new studio headquarters in Leichhardt in Sydney’s inner west – a space that marks both a physical and creative evolution after 13 years of growth across various locations.

“Launching new products and colourways has expanded our offering and extended the reach of our sculptural porcelain pieces into a broader range of interior palettes.”

The move into a long-term home signals a defining moment for the brand. The new space not only accommodates a growing team but also reflects the increasing momentum behind handmade, artisanal products in contemporary interiors. The headquarters includes an expanded production area, a state-of-the-art kiln and a showroom that invites visitors into the heart of the creative process. It also reinforces the studio’s commitment to creating enduring, elegant lighting and tableware.

As the practice evolves, so, too, does its product range. “Launching new products and colourways this year has expanded our offering and extended the reach of our sculptural porcelain pieces into a broader range of interior palettes,” says Taplin. These new offerings maintain the same quiet sophistication and high functionality the brand is known for while exploring the potential of clay and porcelain in fresh, contemporary ways.

It’s an exploration that reflects Taplin’s ongoing journey as a designer – always experimenting, always refining. The result is a timeless body of work that resonates not just with local clients but with an expanding international audience in the United States, Europe and beyond.

This growing demand reflects a broader appreciation for conscious, well-crafted objects in residential, hospitality and commercial spaces. Studio Enti pieces are being specified in projects where aesthetics and ethics align – where designers and architects seek objects that carry presence without excess, enhance a room’s atmosphere and influence the experience of those within it. These pieces not only complete a space visually but also imbue it with a sense of calm, craftsmanship and narrative.

Studio Enti’s dedication to local materials and handmade production ensures every piece holds the unique imprint of thoughtful making.

Integral to the studio’s ethos is collaboration with people, materials and ideas, an ethos embodied in its upcoming partnership with Natural Brick. Together, the brands are developing a new range of lamps that spotlight circular design principles, embracing reuse and end-of-life solutions in beautiful, innovative ways. These collaborations signal a growing desire to reimagine what sustainable design looks like – and what it can achieve – when guided by values of care and respect.

Studio Enti’s dedication to local materials and handmade production ensures every piece holds the unique imprint of thoughtful making. In a world shaped by fast consumption, the brand offers a quiet, enduring alternative – products that will age gracefully and become part of a space’s story, forming emotional connections with those who use them daily. With a new studio, designs, colourways and collaborations, the brand continues to evolve while staying deeply connected to its roots in craft, community and conscious design.
