About this Collection:
Inspired by geometric patterns and architectural forms, this collection began with the idea of a single porcelain cup - a tactile, functional item of daily use - which can also tessellate with others to form playful arrangements and displays. This collection has grown in scale to include large and mini versions of the cup, and in height, to include pourers and vases, for the complete handheld table set.
The small cups are perfect for coffee, paired with the mini pourer for milk and mini cup for sugar. The small cups also suit a table setting with the small pourer for water and small vase as a carafe for wine. The mini collection may be used for seasoning, spices, oils and condiments. All create a dramatic table display with volumetric impact and tactile details.
