Objects with character, born in Saffron Walden
Everything we create is designed, manufactured, and assembled under one roof in our Essex studio.
We’re a collective of local artists and technicians on a mission to rescue everyday homeware from the ordinary, fusing fluid, natural forms with cutting-edge technology.
For us, it’s not just about function; it's about crafting high-quality statement pieces that bring art, innovation, and personality into your daily rituals.

"All design should be unique and personal. I created Balcal to bridge the gap between high-end sculpture and functional homeware. My practice is driven by a constant experimentation with form and technology, whilst ensuring that every piece, from the initial sketch to the final assembly, is treated as a work of art. I don't produce for the masses, I create for those who value design, nuance, and the story behind the things they live with."
