another fall 08 new item is ‘buttered-up‘ by laura strasser and milia seyppel.

strangely connected the above featured design by the german team laura strasser and milia seyppel reminds us of an early design project by another german designer prisca fey. prisca fey’s ceramic bread plates ‘brotzeit‘ were published as a student work already in 2006. fey’s ‘brotzeit’ plates were exhibited together with ‘splash‘ bowls designed by strasser and seyppel team in the designboom exhibition ‘handle with care‘, shown in london in september 2007. both are featured in the exhibition catalogue.
