Redcocoon is a solo studio in Mirihana, Colombo. We make custom tableware for hotels, resorts, restaurants, cafés, and private villas. Commissions range from twenty pieces to two-thousand-piece contracts, all made at studio pace.
Every stage happens here, by the same pair of hands. Clay and glazes are food safe throughout.
What it means to commission from a solo studio.
A solo studio means the person you contact is the person at the wheel. Every stage, from first throw to final firing, happens here. Your order arrives counted, wrapped, and signed off from the same kiln load it was made in.
It also means scale is finite and honest. We fire when the kiln is full, sharing each load across three or four projects at once. A commission will take four to six weeks on the calendar. We never take on work we cannot make ourselves.
The hotels, resorts, and restaurants we have made for, in Sri Lanka and abroad, chose Redcocoon because they wanted the table to be part of the story. That is the only brief we know how to answer.

Our first hospitality order
- Client
- Amaara Forest Hotel, Sigiriya, Sri Lanka
The first hospitality order arrived before pottery had become a way of life. A friend who owns hotels asked if I could make a dinner set. I was still learning. I said yes anyway. The scale was unfamiliar. The consistency demanded was new. Making for a table that wasn’t mine was a different kind of pressure entirely. But it got done — and Amaara Forest Hotel became more than a first order. It was the moment Redcocoon found its confidence, and the foundation everything since has been built on.

The Villa that sent us deep into the sea world
- Client
- Mosvold Villa, Ahangama
Mosvold Villa came to us with a brief and an order quantity that was as ambitious as it was beautiful — a sea world theme, across every meal, every course, every room amenity of their newly refurbished boutique hotel. Jellyfish, starfish, sea urchins, and shells, hand drawn on every piece from breakfast plates to dinner bowls. We told them what we tell every hospitality client — handmade works at its own pace. They not only understood, they chose us because of it.

How Redcocoon found its way to the UK
- Client
- Hoppers London
Rockland Distilleries called one day with a simple request — Amal asked if we could design a mug for arrack-based cocktails. Ceylon Arrack was heading to the UK, to be launched at Hoppers — one of London’s most celebrated Sri Lankan restaurants and he wanted something handmade to serve it in. New brief, new form. Sketches went back and forth until it was right, and then we made it. We made the mug. It went to London and it stayed. Years later, Redcocoon continues to supply Hoppers — not just the signature coconut mug, but a miniature pot for shots, platters, punch bowls, and more. A single phone call that quietly opened a door to the UK.
