About Lavé
The last thing on the counter.
Amber glass dispensers for kitchens and baths that are already finished.
Why we built it
We were tired of cheap things dressed to look elegant.
Walk down any home goods aisle and you will find the same trick. A thin bottle, a pump plated to look like brass, lettering that wipes off the first month. The parts are elegant. The thing is not. You find out when the pump fails and the whole bottle goes in the bin.
We make the other kind. The bottle is the product. Heavy amber glass from Austria, the grade pharmacies use, because it holds its gloss and keeps light off what is inside. The lettering is cured onto the glass, so it stays. The pump is 304 stainless steel in ten hardware finishes, so it matches the faucet instead of fighting it. Every pump we make fits every bottle we make, now and later.
Each one is finished and inspected by hand in Idaho before it leaves.
Made once
Refill it. Keep it.
The counter is done when nothing on it needs replacing. Buy the bottle once and fill it for years.
Where it's made
From Austria to Idaho
-
Austria
Pharmaceutical-grade amber glass, chosen for its weight, its color and the way it holds light.
-
Idaho
Screen-printed here, then heat-cured to the glass. It will not peel or fade, and it wipes clean.
-
By hand
Every bottle is finished, inspected and packed by hand before it leaves. Nothing ships unseen.
