About Truhelix Atelier

Sculpted home goods, helix-formed by hand.

Truhelix Atelier is a small workshop dedicated to a single design language: the spiral. Our work draws from the ancient form found in carved temple columns, twisted ironwork, and hand-thrown coil pottery. Every object is made or finished by hand in our Pacific Northwest studio, in editions small enough that we know each piece.

Our materials

We work in three materials with deep histories: hand-thrown stoneware fired to vitrification, solid cast brass finished by hand, and lampworked glass formed on the rod. We do not source pre-made components. Every helix you see is shaped, carved, or pulled by a maker in our studio.

Why the helix

The spiral appears in the oldest objects humans have made. We find it the most honest form a hand can leave on a material — a continuous mark that records the rhythm of the maker. We use the spiral to make functional objects you live with quietly: vessels, lamps, opener handles, candle bases. Things that improve the small moments of a room.

Editions and lead times

Most pieces are made to order in editions of fifty or fewer. Larger sculptural objects ship in three to four weeks. Smaller tabletop work usually leaves the studio within five business days. If a piece will take longer, we tell you at checkout.
