Discover Mr Pinchy & Co’s new ‘Brass Marble Luxe’ collection

We’ve long been fans of Mr Pinchy & Co here at Interiors Addict and that is unlikely to change any time soon –  especially with the arrival of the brand’s gorgeous new collection. Titled ‘Brass Marble Luxe’ the new range is full of the kind of instant heirloom pieces we’ve come to expect from the brand.

“Our intentions have always been to produce products that are not trend based but designed with a classic raw luxe genuineness, meaning every piece has its own unique tooling marks, natural patterns and character. In our eyes, this kind of object is what true luxury items are all about,” says Mr Pinchy & Co creative and managing director Michael Beer.

Designed by Michael and his wife Louisa Beer, the range is made in India and is a celebration of marble and the brand’s signature brass. “The inspiration was to design a range with a unique difference integrating marble with brass, which is our signature material, delivered with classic presence to hold itself over the decades,” says Michael.

With trays, ice buckets and bottle openers in the mix, the new range makes the perfect dinner party companion. “It’s so hard to just choose a favourite piece as they are all special but we’d have to say the ‘Skyward’ candle holders and the ‘Block’ bowls stand out. The candle holders, because of the way they create drama in a room and the block bowls due to their sheer brutalist presence,” says Michael.

Of particular note is the new ‘Fox’ marble and brass bottle opener. “It’s unique in that you wouldn’t even know it is a bottle opener until you picked it up and looked underneath the brass end. It’s also especially impressive in its ease of use, the way it fits into the hand and feels so natural. Beyond this if you are looking for a unique gift it certainly falls into that category,” says Michael.

Decorative crabs, skulls, milk crates, grenades…new brand Mr Pinchy & Co has it all

A new brand inspired by a brass crab in a back street shop on holidays is producing some of the coolest and most on trend decorative pieces I’ve seen in a long time.

Mr Pinchy & Co (named after that crab) makes ornaments inspired by the everyday and, frankly, random, in a variety of finishes. First came the crab, but later a milk crate, hand grenade, skull, whale jawbone, lightbulb and more.

“Whilst on our travels we came across a small and very simple sea crab in a brass homewares store down one of those many unknown back streets you seem to be drawn to when abroad,” says Michael Beer, who founded the brand with wife Louisa. “Falling in love with its simplicity, rawness and character we hashed out an idea for a brand that would embody these traits but with a more raw design emphasis and after locating a group of artisans we were happy with, Mr Pinchy & Co was born last year.”

Already stocked in Coco Republic, they’re now looking to build relationships with smaller boutique stores and interior designers and stylists.

“We always saw Coco Republic as our top echelon retail partner and it was extremely gratifying to be recognised by such an icon in the Australian design industry and be stocked by them. We think it’s very important to have a presence in the boutique stores too. We see potential strong stockist partners as the guys that are offering a lifestyle experience to their clientele; unique homewares, fashion, jewellery and even food.”
