About Us

Inspired by Mother Earth and Japanese Wabi-Sabi

Hi, I’m Tim, and everything you see here is made by me in my little home studio, with my loyal pup 🐶 always by my side.

Each piece is created with love, inspired by nature and the beauty of simplicity. I work with natural crystals and sustainable materials, crafting objects that bring warmth, harmony, and a touch of elegance into your space.

This is not mass production,  it’s just me, my hands, and my heart in every detail. Thank you for supporting a small studio and helping my art find a home with you.

With Gratitude , Tim & my little studio dog

I believe it is imperative for humanity to maintain our connection to Earth.
The Japanese design aesthetic of wabi-sabi combines natural inspirations and a neutral palette with an acknowledgment of the beauty in the imperfection of daily life. Wabi-sabi are elegant, sparse and imperfect, yet deliver a very modern take on luxury interior design that finds its inspiration in the colors and textures of nature.

Aura 8 Home launched in 2020, I handcraft my pieces in small batches using natural crystals and sustainable materials. 

Each piece in this shop is a reflection of my ethos to 'Do small things with love' and to consider how and where we purchase our finds in the world we live in today.

It takes 1.5 hours to make 1x planter and each product is unique and there are never two identical pieces, each and every piece comes out special and one of a kind.

I take great pride in my handmade products, air plant holders, geode planters, crystals pots, candle holders and all others hand poured concrete goods. These are perfect for both indoor and outdoor use.

I just want to say that I’m incredibly thankful for each and every order placed here in our shop, and I hope that you will love our wares in your own home or business!

Sustainability matters to us

I believe that doing business shouldn't cost the earth. I work with local suppliers to reduce carbon footprint and Co2 emissions as much as possible. Shipping is an essential aspect of most businesses, but carbon emissions from shipping negatively impact the planet and contribute to climate change. I do my best to reduce and remove the carbon dioxide emissions from packages that we ship in multiple ways by using compostable packaging as much as we can, using carbon-neutral shipping options and supporting initiatives that contribute to carbon offset or removal.

There's a pride in that, I think. A feeling that you're not only apart of life but you're shaping it, making a difference, turning a negative into a positive.

Thank you for supporting the handmade revolution, and hopefully you too will love all these handcrafted pieces, natural crystals and stones...

With Gratitude, Tim Turman
