TOOLS FOR LIVING is the design and supply arm of Aaron Probyn Studio, specialising in bespoke tableware and accessories for retail, and the hospitality industry.
Headed up by award-winning designer Aaron Probyn, the team brings together over 20 years’ experience creating timeless, functional design for global retailers, boutique brands, cafes, restaurants and hotel groups.
We are an agile full-service design and supply partner, built to work as an extension of your team, managing everything from concept to table while giving you flexibility, transparency, and confidence at every step.
We work with a curated global network of trusted manufacturers across Europe and Asia, selecting the right partners for each project based on materials, volume, and price point, to meet your needs without compromising.
We believe good design should feel natural and effortless, enhancing the way people dine, serve and connect. Our role is to interpret each client’s world and translate it into a cohesive product story that looks beautiful, performs flawlessly and reflects their brand’s values.
We’re known for our flexibility of design language, adapting to every brief and creating ranges that are specific, not stylistically fixed. We can collaborate with your in-house product team, or manage the entire project from concept to table.
Sustainability, quality and longevity sit at the core of everything we do.

Lets work together
We'd love to explore how bespoke tableware or accessories could help elevate your brand. Share a little about your brand, locations, menu and how you currently serve – and we'll suggest where a custom range could add the most value.
And whether it's a glaze, a finish, a form or a minimum order, we'll tell you what's achievable before you commit to a direction. That conversation costs nothing.
