sucri.lait by fargues emilie from switzerland

The SUCRI.LAIT is a double item …

The name is a phonetic pun between the French words for sugar bowl and milk jug. The concepts behind are complementarity and contrast: sugar/ milk, colour/ white, lustreless/ shining, lines/ curves, functional/ sculptural, soft/ strong….

This plain object is a combination of a milk jug and a sugar bowl in the shape of a bottle. This way it takes less room in our kitchen. Its enigmatic look creates a surprise when it is used. Thanks to its aesthetic it can stay in sight like a decorative item.
It adds a little change in the ritual of coffee and tea time.

At last the porcelain has been chosen for its technical qualities and its refinement.
This item intends to be smart and elegant.
