Compote Dish

Tuesday, 10 December 2024

Sinafu Stand

Sinafu Stand was designed as a daily tool that fits the modern life by utilizing traditional Japanese woodworking techniques. The plate and foot plate of this compote share common characteristics. And the soft outline that extends from the extremely thin stem to the plate emphasizes cuteness and is designed to fit in the hand to beautify the gesture that serves the dish. This shape is impossible without advanced craftsmanship. Beautifully presented dishes and beautiful gestures that handle vessels express the chef's hospitality and create an elegant and rich time.

Coexistence

Coexistence trays are inspired by the theory of Fictitious and Realistic Coexistence in Asian philosophy. This set includes two stainless steel trays, each is designed as a landscape shape and also like an art sculpture. Like mountains and lakes, they are perfectly coordinated, and both highly polished trays are made of stainless steel 18/10. Each piece is polished with a crisp, mirror finish on the exterior. Each tray can be individually used for table serving, and two trays can be set upside-down to each other in different variations, and become one large tray.

Wine Glass

30s

The 30s Wine Glass by Saara Korppi is particularly designed for white wine, but it can also be used for other beverages, too. It has been made in a hot shop using old glass blowing techniques, which means every piece is unique. Saara’s goal is to design high quality glass that looks interesting from all angles and, when filled with liquid, allows light to reflect from different angles adding extra enjoyment to drinking. Her inspiration for the 30s Wine Glass comes from her previous 30s Cognac Glass design, both products sharing the shape of the cup and playfulness.

Icy Galaxy

Nature has always been one of the most important sources of inspiration for designers. The idea came to designers' minds by looking into the space and the image of Milk Way Galaxy.The most important aspect in this design was to create a unique form. Many designs that are in the market focus on making the most clear ice but in this presented design, the designers intentionally focused on the forms which are made by the minerals while the water turns into ice, to be more clear the designers transformed a natural defect into a beautiful effect. This design creates a spiral spherical form.

Penguin

It's a bionic design. Its overall shape is like a polar penguin, chubby and lovely, warm and elegant. In addition to making it look more vivid and interesting, the tilted shape also makes it easier to use, even for elderly or children. The front end of lid is raised like a penguin beak to prevent dust from falling into the spout. The back end of lid is raised to help users to screw the lid easily. The glass copper-plated inner tank can keep water 80 Celsius degrees after 6 hours, it's still hot enough for tea or coffee.
