The concrete lamps look nice, but would question the choice of material as a pendant light (head + concrete = ouch). Oh well, can't win them all. But, my objection is the transparent way in which the designer is trying to leverage some sort of association with 'craft', whilst the objects are totally devoid of a craft aesthetic. And it's quire ridiculous to describe your process as 'Working in conjunction with bespoke upholsters, veneer manufacturers and metal engineers.'... Er, doesn't that some up the working process of any mass produced object? A designer with no real point of differentiation, so clearly needed to write one in instead.
