Welcome to BalCal
Made with Human Intelligence
Objects with character, born in Saffron Walden
Everything we create is designed, manufactured, and assembled under one roof in our Essex studio.
We’re a collective of local artists and technicians on a mission to rescue everyday homeware from the ordinary, fusing fluid, natural forms with cutting-edge technology.
For us, it’s not just about function; it's about crafting high-quality statement pieces that bring art, innovation, and personality into your daily rituals.
Archer Hodges
Founder of Balcal and ArcherFX
3D designer, artist and model maker.
"All design should be unique and personal. I created Balcal to bridge the gap between high-end sculpture and functional homeware. My practice is driven by a constant experimentation with form and technology, whilst ensuring that every piece, from the initial sketch to the final assembly, is treated as a work of art. I don't produce for the masses, I create for those who value design, nuance, and the story behind the things they live with."
