Wave brass object

Striking brass ornament inspired by the complex yet abstract forms of Barbara Hepworth's work.

Barbara Hepworth began her career as a sculptor in London in the late 1920s, and quickly established herself in the vanguard of the modern movement. Caught in St. Ives by the outbreak of the war, she went on to spend thirty-six years – exactly half her life – in the town. Hepworth came to value the sense of community she found in St. Ives, and it was this very rootedness that allowed her to develop sculpture for the national and international stage.

STIK DESIGNS is a small family run business, set up by Tuula Nicholson and partner Shaun Robinson. Based in the Cotswolds they use only natural and reclaimed materials from local sources to create unique items for the home and garden. Tuula Nicholson is one of the grandchildren of Barbara Hepworth and we are delighted that she has designed an exclusive range of products for Tate inspired by her grandmother’s work.

To keep your ornamental scupture looking its best, only handle it using its base, and avoid touching the brass surface of the object. If you need to clean your brass object, we suggest using a gentle car polishing cream (STIK recommend Autosol), applied with a clean, soft cloth.
