ARD is a brand of tableware and other handmade objects, inspired by the North Atlantic coast. The name comes from the Gaelic word for high place, and the village of Ardheslaig where ARD was born. These decorative and functional objects are tactile reminders of the elemental nature of the places where they were made. ARD upholds material integrity as a reminder to value our precious resources and wild places. No baby seals were harmed in the making of these products.
