London Designed

Brick Sixty

We are a London-based studio who design and make products in the form of the much-loved London brick. The hand cast products symbolise London; the products will always be made in London and sold to unique stores. Just like the city itself, all their products are designed to be completely inclusive and crafted for all to enjoy.

Brick Sixty - what's in the name? And inspired to start your creative practice?

When we first started out we calculated that we could make sixty brick soaps in a weekend, so Brick Sixty stuck from then.

And inspired to start your creative practice?

We found a London brick in the backyard of our London flat. It’s iconic form, alongside the history, character & stories embedded in the capital inspired us to start designing products that tell these stories.

What does it mean for your products to be "completely inclusive"?

We try to design product ranges that span across all scents, colour and price – aiming to appeal to all, just like the city itself.

Brick Soap Red Hot Rose

Infused with traditional English rose scent, this Hot Rose soap bar is designed to encapsulate the city itself, hand casted in the shape of a classic London brick. Recipes include raw materials derived from the history, science and engineering behind the humble London brick.

What role does sustainability play in your production process?

All of our products are made in London. This local production method reduces delivery transportation distances which is a major source of carbon emissions. Alongside this all of our packaging suppliers are in the UK.

At Brick Sixty all of our products are made in small batches. Small batch manufacturing reduces manufacturing waste by minimising overproduction. This alongside efficient stock management and only ordering the material we need for a given period of time minimises waste.

What's your favourite building in London, and why is it special to you?

It’s tough to pick one but probably the pointed arch arcade that our studio sits amongst, just west of St Pancras railway station. This row of buildings is one of the last surviving structures of the former coal depot owned by the Midland Railway Company. Constructed in 1898, it’s a rare example of commercial premises built within a rail goods yard. The space is full of the original features of the former coal trading store, including the wrought iron staircase & working brick fireplace. It’s great to see them occupied by small business owners and we’re lucky to be part of the community down there.
