Kevin, left, and Charlie, right, at Dumais Made’s Litchfield studio.
Founded in 2017, Dumais Made is a ceramics studio that makes pieces by hand. A practice that began with lamps and has since evolved to furniture, objects, and accessories that balance form and function.
Because everything is made by hand, each piece possesses its own story. A story that reflects the collective of individuals that made it, their interests, ideas, and inspiration, their personality and process, even their temperament on the day.
It is this character that defines a piece by Dumais Made. Pieces crafted with care, that are intended to live alongside you, revealing their story along the way.
