Brands We Love

OCTOBER 2023 <h2>Brands We Love</h2>

At BVB we love supporting other independent brands and the concept behind BRICK SIXTY oozes British, and in particular London heritage - who knew the humble brick could be so evocative? 

Brick Sixty 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 stocked at unique stores. Just like the city itself, all Brick Sixty’s products are designed to be completely inclusive and crafted for all to enjoy.

ESTABLISHED IN 2018

Established in 2018 by Billy, an engineer living in London with a passion for the character and materiality of the humble brick. Brick Sixty set out to uncover and tell the stories behind the bricks, the buildings and the streets of London.

Brick Sixty also collaborate with fellow London-makers to celebrate more of the high-quality design and
thoughtful manufacturing that takes place in the capital.

Pattern makers: These are the first cast iron brick patterns we had made over 3 years ago - This month we managed to get in touch with the original maker Keith, who’s now retired but has kindly offered to build us another set from his home workshop. Pattern makers are few and far between now!

NOT JUST ANOTHER BRICK THE WALL

From limited edition cast iron bricks, to soap and chocolate casts Brick Sixty bring a whole new meaning to the London brick. Check out their website via the link below:
