Basil is a one-off Snail with a sweet and warm character. Made slowly in Scotland, its shell is cast from recycled plastic and its body hand-finished in oak. Every element has been carefully considered and produced through a small network of local makers across Glasgow and Edinburgh - who cast, cut, sand, and finish each piece, keeping production intimate and closely connected to place.
Each shell carries traces of its making, with small surface irregularities that add to its distinctive and characterful presence. Every Snail arrives boxed and accompanied by a name tag certifying its edition and authenticity.
Purchasing a Snail is a quiet act of resistance, helping sustain a network of local makers and more considered ways of producing lasting design.
Overall size: 330mm (L) × 245mm (H) × 40mm (W)
NB: Future editions will continue in small batches, maintaining this commitment to care, place, and connection. Basil remains unique within this process.
