the founders
ONETWO HOUSE is a small Australian tableware brand founded by Chloe Wheatland, a plant-based chef, and Jy Simpkin, a professional AFL athlete for North Melbourne Football Club. Partners in life. Partners in design.
They share the same favourite number. 12. Chloe's birthday, 12/12. Jy's number on the field, 12. They got it tattooed. The name followed. ONE TWO for the number. HOUSE for the table they share every day. Even the logo carries it. Two lines inside an arch. Home.
Chloe grew up in the Macedon Ranges. She cooks by feel, not by rule. A handful of this, a taste as you go. That instinct shapes what makes a plate work for a quick lunch or a long dinner, what makes a bowl satisfying to eat from, what gets used every day and what gets left in the cupboard.
Jy grew up in Mooroopna, on Yorta Yorta land. A proud Indigenous athlete who brings the function. Everything in its place, nothing left to chance. Food isn't just something he enjoys, it's part of the job. Recovery, fuel, the habits you build day in, day out. Built to perform. Built to last. Built to be exactly where it should be.
Form and function. In equal measure.
THE PIECES
The table deserved better than a choice between precious and boring. So ONETWO HOUSE sits in between. Modern in form, natural in feeling. Smooth lines, soft edges, a shape that's uniquely theirs. Made from new bone china, a modern alternative that uses synthetic phosphate rather than animal bone ash. No animals involved, just as durable and long lasting. Dishwasher and microwave safe. Stackable. Scratch resistant. Beautiful things should be easy to live with too.
Starting out with four shapes. A dinner plate and a side plate. A dinner bowl and a side bowl. Cream or chocolate. Sets of four, because that's how most of us eat. This is just the beginning.
They care about the small things too. Every order arrives in recyclable packaging, wrapped in recyclable tissue paper. No unnecessary plastic, no single use filler. They do not have it all figured out, but they are paying attention and improving as they grow. Made with love. Designed in Melbourne.
