Frequently Asked Questions.

Curious about Osprey Studio? We're transparent about our process, our products, and our passion for sustainable design. Find answers to our most common questions below.

  • Yes! Each platter is crafted from stone samples that would otherwise be discarded by architectural firms. These stones come from various global sources like Vermont slate, Brazilian granite, and Italian marble, giving each piece a unique geological history.

  •  Unlike conventional terrazzo, our process uses zero toxic resins, zero harmful chemical dyes, and zero plastic-based sealants. We've developed a completely natural process using mineral pigments and natural wax sealers.

  • Absolutely. Our natural sealing process and mineral-based materials create a food-safe surface that's both beautiful and functional.

  • Extremely. We're intercepting stone samples that would typically end up in landfills, using 100% of the material, and creating our products with environmentally conscious methods and materials.

  • No two platters are identical. Each is a unique piece of functional art, with variations in stone patterns, mineral pigments, and subtle design elements.

  • Each platter represents weeks of work, from stone collection to custom concrete mixing, casting, precise grinding, and natural sealing. It's a labor of love and precision.

  • We occasionally offer custom commissions. Reach out through our contact page to discuss possibilities.

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Our natural wax seal provides protection, but occasional re-sealing might be recommended for long-term care.

  • Each platter comes with care instructions and a guarantee. Contact us directly for any repair or replacement inquiries.

  • All platters are handcrafted in our small studio at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, ensuring personal attention to every single piece.
