The Fairlight takes its name from Fairlight Rockpool in Sydney's north — part of a collection of Handle & Kate pieces whose forms are influenced by Sydney's ocean pools.
At 74mm in length with a 35mm projection and independently tested to carry up to 20kg, the Fairlight hook brings an oval, organic form to the wall. Its elongated profile distinguishes it from a standard round hook and suits interiors where the detail of each object has been considered. Designers frequently specify it for bathrooms, bedroom walls, entryways and laundry rooms — spaces where a hook is reached for daily and the quality of what the hand meets matters.
Slip cast on Gadigal & Bidjigal Country in Sydney from a local clay with porcelain qualities, each Fairlight hook is trimmed and finished by hand before being bisque fired, glazed and glaze fired in our studio. The hand-forming of each piece is visible in the finished object and facilitates a more tactile experience with use and time. Fixed with a double-sided self-tapping screw, it installs directly to the wall with no exposed fixings.
The Fairlight hook is available in eight glaze finishes, ranging from the gloss depth of Black Pearl and White Caps to the feel of satin matte glazes Salt Spray and Squid Ink Black. The sheer glazes — Lagoon, Deep Sea, Oyster and Crystal Clear — are particularly suited to bathrooms and wet areas where the clay body itself is part of the design intention, allowing the porcelain to read through the finish. All glazes are food safe and waterproof, making the Fairlight hook appropriate for wet areas and outdoor settings as well as interior walls.
