When ASH&STONE established its Ponsonby crystal shop, one of its core objectives was to bring a contemporary view to crystals and their uses and to showcase crystals as design aspects that add both texture and elemental connection to interiors.
“Whether your focus is on interior aesthetics or energy, crystals are a stunning way to enhance your home,” says Ashleigh Scopas from ASH&STONE.
“We’ve set up our retail environment so that customers can easily visualise how a piece might look in their own space and try these alongside other display elements. It makes it easier to envision the fit.”
Given the sculptural element of larger crystals, these warrant showcasing in feature spaces within your home. Smaller pieces can be used on coffee tables alongside books, plants or lamps. Polished spheres or smaller clusters often look beautiful sitting inside a ceramic bowl or display dish.
So how to choose the right crystal?
“Just like a bespoke art piece, we find customers are often inexplicably drawn to something,” says Ashleigh. “They’ll come in with a set idea of what they’re looking for, but a particular piece will catch their eye and they keep returning to it. That’s likely the piece they’ll take home!
“But we also talk with you about your interior, the look you’re wanting to create, and help you try pieces on for size.”
