Tactile & Ergonomics

Rest the object in your palm and trace the recessed Thumb Nest with your thumb. Choose the grip that feels comfortable to you.

Material & Living Patina

Unglazed zisha clay, finished for daily handling. Colour and texture can vary. Its surface can develop a personal patina with use; the pace and appearance vary with handling.

Shipping & Guarantee

This Tactile Anchor qualifies for free shipping when paired with any second item—including another Anchor—to the United States. A set containing two Anchors qualifies by itself.

The Isolation Pod Protocol

Your object arrives secured in its fitted packaging. The Archive Box uses high-density EVA foam to cushion the object and hold it securely in place during storage and transit. On arrival, allow the object to reach room temperature naturally. Break the silver protocol seal when you are ready to step away from the screen. When not in use, return the object to its fitted EVA compartment to mark the end of the ritual.

FROM OUR WORKBENCH

Finished by hand.
Shaped for your palm.

From zisha clay to the Thumb Nest, see how we press each shape into a mold, then trim the edges by hand.

The clay’s natural grain and subtle variations give each Anchor a character of its own.

From our workbench: shaping the clay before firing.

A few more details.

Are Desk and Pocket different sizes?

No. These names describe where to keep the two Anchors in the set, rather than different specifications.

Buying for a team or studio?

Five Anchors: $160 USD. Ten Anchors: $300 USD. Each Anchor comes individually packaged. Contact us with your quantity and delivery country for a team order.

How should I handle the clay?

Give your Anchor its own spot on your desk and carry it separately from keys and hard objects. Like other fired clay objects, it can chip or break in a hard fall. If it arrives damaged in transit, we will replace it free, including shipping. Contact us with your order number.

Does it need charging or an app?

No. It is a physical clay object with no battery, screen or electronic components.
