{"product_id":"organic-appliques-copy","title":"Olah Side Table","description":"\u003ch5\u003eThe Olah—a simple Egyptian clay vessel, was never just an object. It was a quiet intelligence: a porous body that cooled water through breath, climate, and time. It held life, not through technology, but\u003cbr\u003ethrough material awareness. A form shaped by necessity, yet elevated into cultural memory. Shell Homage begins in the same philosophy of transformation. Where the Olah worked with earth, Shell Homage works with food \u0026amp; agricultural waste, fragments once discarded, now reconstituted into a new bio-composite matter. Like clay, it is ground, bound, and reshaped. Like clay, it carries memory within its surface. Both materials share a quiet logic: nothing is added that does not belong, nothing is forced beyond its nature. In this lineage, Shell Homage is not a material innovation—it is a continuation of ancient intelligence. A reminder that sustainability was never an invention, but a forgotten practice. The multifunctional Olah table returns that logic to the present: where waste becomes matter, matter becomes form, and form becomes a vessel again—holding light, memory, and time.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eA multifunctional side table that can also function as a vase. The tabletop is reversible and can be used as a tray or serving platter. The form is inspired by the Egyptian Olah, a symbolic object that functioned as more than a vessel—it was a system of quiet intelligence. Made from earth, it cooled water through porosity, climate, and time. A simple form, shaped by necessity and refined by nature. Shell Homage continues this lineage through a new material memory: egg and nut shell waste reformed into a bio-composite. Like clay, it is ground and reshaped. Like the Olah, it breathes with its environment. Our materials are relatively lightweight compared to marble or natural stones, and they possess non-repetitive, one-of-a-kind patterns and structures. We design carefully our materials \u0026amp; we consider ourselves agents for change. We fabricate, design, create , reform, reuse and redefine food\u003cbr\u003ewaste giving them an entirely new purpose.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSize: D40 X H45cm\u003cbr\u003eSize: D35 X H52cm\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Shell Homage","offers":[{"title":"D40 X H45 cm","offer_id":55599471100280,"sku":null,"price":1452.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"D35 X H52 cm","offer_id":55599471133048,"sku":null,"price":1452.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0643\/7267\/0705\/files\/OlahTable.png?v=1783556717","url":"https:\/\/famecollective.com\/en-gb\/products\/organic-appliques-copy","provider":"FAME Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
