  • Limited editions

    Small-run objects sourced in limited quantities, based on availability rather than replication. Limited Editions Rare Tunisian pieces gathered in small, changing series. Why Limited Editions? Some pieces can only exist a few at a time – a vintage find in the medina, a test series from an artisan, a form that is too demanding to repeat often. Limited Editions gathers these rare crossings. Once a piece leaves this page, it may not return in the same way. Current Editions Elixir Honey Gift Set Price €60.00 ADD TO CART Cress Honey Price €23.00 ADD TO CART Wild Trilogy Honey Price €23.00 ADD TO CART Orange Blossom Honey Price €23.00 ADD TO CART LOAD MORE Materials & Origins Each edition begins with a material, a place, or a story. A batch of clay from a single firing. A small series carved from one piece of wood. A weave or colour we only hold for a moment. Keeping runs small lets each piece stay close to its Tunisian origin. When a Piece Returns Some editions never return. Others come back changed – a new size, a shifted curve, a different glaze or weave. If a piece you love is gone, you can always write to us. We’ll share if a new run is planned, or guide you to something with a similar quiet weight. Continue Exploring Seasonal Collections Curated Sets All Collections

  • Waiting in Tunisia

    How waiting operates in daily life in Tunisia, shaping expectations, coordination, and shared presence. Waiting Time, open. Someone waits for a taxi. Hands rest on a shopping bag. A cup of coffee cools on the table. Two people stand near a bus stop. A conversation pauses. A friend is late. Someone watches the door in a café. Cars pass by. The queue in a market does not move quickly. No one comments. Time passes without glancing at a phone. Silence fills a courtyard bench. Someone leans against a wall. Nothing else happens.

  • Safety in Tunisia

    How safety works in daily life in Tunisia, including awareness, public spaces, and common sense precautions. Safety & Situational Awareness How to read environments, adjust posture, and move with clarity. Entry Posture This page assumes awareness. Situations are readable. Movement has structure. Safety begins before reaction. It starts with how space is read and how exits remain visible. What This Page Is For This page is not a warning. It is not reassurance. It does not list risks. It sets an operating mode. The focus is situational reading: how environments shift, how posture adapts, and how movement stays deliberate. The Safety Operating Mode Safety is a way of operating. It rests on three constants: awareness, positioning, and exit readiness. Awareness reads the situation as it is. Positioning reduces unnecessary exposure. Exits remain known before they are needed. What “Normal” Looks Like Daily life is visible. Streets carry steady m ovement. Cafés fill and empty in cycles. People linger, pass through, return. Noise rises and settles. Attention shifts with time of day. Most situations signal themselves clearly. Normal does not require interpretation. When Context Changes Context shifts gradually. Density increases. Light changes. Movement compresses or disperses. An environment that was legible can become less so. Reading the shift matters more than naming the place. When Context Changes Some situations repeat. Attention may persist longer than expected. Offers may be restated. Boundaries may be tested lightly. Friction tends to increase where movement slows, where anonymity rises, or where expectations are unclear. Recognizing the pattern prevents overreaction. Boundary Posture Boundaries function best when they are clear and brief. Responses remain neutral. Movement resumes without explanation. Escalation is avoided by not engaging the pattern. Clarity closes most interactions. Leaving is a valid response. It does not require justification. Positioning & Belongings Position reduces exposure. Belongings stay close without display. Hands remain free. Movement stays unencumbered. Simple positioning prevents most complications. Movement Awareness Movement changes visibility. Pauses matter more than motion. Transitions carry the most noise. Routes stay simple. Exits stay ahead of the step. If Something Goes Off Pause before response. Increase distance. Change direction. Re-enter visibility. Attention narrows to movement and exits. Resolution comes from repositioning, not confrontation. Re-grounding Attention returns to the present. Breath steadies. Posture loosens. Movement normalizes. Awareness remains. Urgency releases. Where to Go Next Mobility & Transport Social Norms Regions

  • Ground, shade, and sleep

    Objects in Tunisia designed for sitting, resting, sleeping, and creating shade in indoor and outdoor settings. Ground, Shade & Sleep Objects that regulate rest under heat and light. Orientation This section gathers the objects that mediate rest in Tunisia. Not furniture as statement, but objects as regulators. They sit between the body and the ground, the sun, and the air. They do not redefine sleep. They make it possible under specific conditions. Ground Objects intervene to stabilise temperature and surface: low beds and divans mattresses placed close to the floor rugs and layered textiles beneath sleeping surfaces Height is reduced to remain within cooler air. Thickness is controlled to avoid heat retention. Shade Shade is produced by objects before it is architectural. Common mediators include: shutters heavy curtains textile screens wooden elements that frame openings These objects are adjusted daily. They close early, filter light, and preserve coolness. Sleep Sleep is marked by objects that withdraw the room. Covers are drawn. Pillows accumulate. Curtains overlap. Sleep is not announced by the bed alone, but by the gradual removal of light, sound, and interruption. Air Air is guided by how objects leave space open. doors without thresholds windows framed to align minimal obstruction around sleeping areas Objects allow circulation without noise. Stillness is preserved through openness. Materials in Use Earth & masonry – thermal stability Tree – controlled openings and framing Textiles – light absorption and acoustic softening Continuity These objects persist because they remain sufficient. They are adjusted, moved, opened, and closed daily. They do not define identity. They define conditions. Rest is ordinary. The objects around it are deliberate. Where these principles remain in use HOME Objects that support calm and enclosure. TEXTILES Surfaces that filter light, sound, and duration.

  • How value moves

    An examination of how value is created, transferred, and acknowledged across Tunisian systems. Value This page observes how value is produced, displaced, and recognized across systems. Orientation Value is often assumed to appear where prices are set. In practice, value is generated long before exchange occurs and frequently becomes visible only after it has moved elsewhere. Contribution and recognition do not coincide by default. This page looks at how value is produced, how it travels through systems, and where it becomes invisible. Where Value Is Produced Value originates in primary activity. Labor, material transformation, maintenance, and support functions generate the conditions that allow systems to operate. These contributions exist regardless of whether they are immediately monetized. Functions that ensure reliability and quality – such as maintenance, safety, and operational oversight – sustain output and prevent failure. Their contribution is continuous but indirect, making them difficult to attach to price signals. In digital environments, value is created through participation. User activity generates data, engagement, and network effects that enable monetization elsewhere, without direct compensation at the point of creation. How Value Is Extracted Value often moves away from where it is produced. Intermediaries capture disproportionate shares by controlling distribution, branding, or access. Producers receive fixed or commodity-based compensation while downstream entities accumulate variable returns. Platforms aggregate labor or services and extract value through fees, commissions, or data ownership. The structure concentrates recognition at the point of aggregation rather than production. Financial instruments detach value streams from their productive base. Returns are captured by holders of contracts or assets rather than by those sustaining the underlying activity. Legal frameworks shift recognition through licensing and intellectual property. Control of rights redirects value from sites of creation to sites of authorization. How Value Becomes Invisible Essential contributions persist without acknowledgment. Maintenance, repair, and operational work keep infrastructure functional while remaining absent from pricing and recognition mechanisms. Care activities within households and communities sustain workforce capacity and continuity without entering economic accounts. Informal knowledge transfer and mentoring underpin skill formation but are not compensated as production. Environmental processes support extraction, production, and waste absorption without appearing in valuation systems. These functions remain structurally necessary while economically silent. How Measurement Distorts Recognition Measurement substitutes signals for substance. Productivity metrics privilege output per unit time, obscuring contributions that prevent breakdown or ensure stability. Revenue-based indicators underrepresent support functions that reduce risk or cost rather than generate sales. Non-market activities are excluded from formal accounting, producing systematic underestimation of essential work. Proxy signals replace direct assessment. Stock prices, engagement metrics, and similar indicators stand in for underlying contribution, misaligning perception from production. Boundary Value does not appear where it is priced. When recognition is detached from contribution, misalignment becomes structural.

  • Time beyond the decision

    An observation of how time shapes decisions and outcomes in Tunisia as consequences emerge gradually. Time This page observes how time shapes outcomes when consequences unfold beyond the moment of decision. Orientation Time is often treated as a backdrop: something that passes while decisions are made. In practice, time functions as an active constraint. Systems behave differently depending on the length of the cycles they operate within, regardless of intention or awareness. This page looks at how short and long time horizons interact, and how outcomes emerge when actions and consequences are separated by delay. How Time Distorts Decision-Making When incentives are tied to short cycles, behavior adjusts accordingly. Actors prioritize immediate metrics because they are visible, measurable, and rewarded. Long-term stability becomes secondary, not through neglect, but through misalignment with what is tracked. Delayed feedback reduces corrective capacity. When the effects of decisions appear long after actions are taken, adjustment becomes difficult. Strategies persist even as conditions change, because signals arrive too late to be associated with their cause. Compounding effects accumulate quietly. Small deviations, repeated over time, generate significant impact without crossing thresholds that trigger attention. Short-term monitoring masks long-term accumulation. Lags between action and outcome separate responsibility from recognition. Credit and blame attach to proximity rather than causality. Why Temporal Patterns Repeat Efforts designed for rapid gains often enter prolonged phases of degradation. Initial efficiency produces visible improvement, followed by slow decline as deferred costs surface. The decline appears disconnected from the original decision because it unfolds across cycles. Reforms frequently mature after their initiators have exited. Outcomes are realized under different leadership, making evaluation difficult and attribution unreliable. Maintenance is postponed to preserve short-term performance. Over time, decay becomes normalized. Systems continue functioning while underlying integrity erodes. Urgency is repeatedly mistaken for importance. Signals that demand immediate response are prioritized regardless of their relevance to long-term outcomes. Novelty is interpreted as progress. Change in form substitutes for change in structure when time horizons are compressed. How Durability Appears Durable systems behave differently. Practices anchored in routine repetition and steady maintenance persist without acceleration. Their effectiveness is not visible at any single moment, but accumulates through continuity. Systems designed with provisions for upkeep endure across successive cycles. They do not optimize for speed. They remain functional by absorbing time rather than compressing it. Endurance emerges from alignment with long cycles, not from responsiveness to short ones. Boundary Time does not reward urgency. When consequences unfold slowly, acceleration distorts judgment.

  • When identity becomes representation

    An observation of how identity shifts when it moves from lived reality into representation. Identity This page observes how identity changes when it is represented rather than lived. Orientation Identity is often treated as something that can be shown. In practice, identity is lived through behavior, repetition, and continuity. Representation introduces a different logic. What is shown must be recognizable, legible, and stable enough to be interpreted by others. This page looks at how identity functions when visibility, classification, and signaling become structural pressures. Representation and Signal When identity is represented, it is translated into visible markers. Symbols, language, aesthetics, and narratives are adopted to signal belonging. These markers allow quick recognition but tend to simplify what they stand in for. The represented form becomes more static than the lived experience it references. Continuity weakens under signaling pressure. To remain recognizable, identity must repeat itself. Fluid or evolving aspects are reduced because they interfere with legibility. Formal classification intensifies this effect. Census labels, institutional categories, and market segments impose discrete slots onto lived variation. The map becomes easier to navigate, but less accurate. Distortion Under Visibility Visibility alters behavior. When identities are presented to broad or external audiences, nuance is compressed to fit familiar frames. Simplification ensures recognition, but it flattens internal diversity. The external gaze shapes internal conduct. Observation and evaluation encourage conformity to expected traits associated with the category. Over time, performance aligns with expectation, reinforcing the represented form. What began as description becomes prescription. Stabilization and Fragmentation Institutions stabilize identity for operational reasons. Administrative systems fix identity categories to manage access, rights, and coordination. These fixed labels persist even as lived expressions change, privileging stable forms over hybrid or fluid ones. Markets reward consistency. Recognizable identity signals are incentivized because they are easier to target, brand, or distribute. Narrow traits are amplified because they perform reliably. Fragmentation follows. When identity is framed externally, internal disagreement emerges over which representation dominates. Competing performances arise within the same labeled group. Misalignment accumulates between lived reality and public representation. Emphasis on selected aspects obscures others, producing tension between private experience and visible identity. Boundary Identity does not distort because it is false. It distorts when representation replaces continuity.
