We are taught that to live better, we need more. 

More steps. 

More ingredients. 

More layers. 

More stuff. 

But a better way of being doesn’t need more, it requires less. 


Taking cues from nature, her days are punctuated by the rhythm of the ocean. This editing and simplifying of her lifestyle reflect our design ethos: reduction is practiced until only the vital remains.

Ophelia reminds us that the essential is beautiful.
