Our Journey Through Time

Milestones that shaped Selenderub into Britain's premier sustainable tableware company

2018

The Foundation

James Hartwell established Selenderub in a converted barn in the heart of the Cotswolds. Inspired by the natural beauty surrounding him and concerned about environmental degradation, he set out to create beautiful tableware that wouldn't harm the planet.
