designer's own words:
For the most people, breakfast is the most important meal of the day…after your coffee or tea, everything takes its colours, smells and tastes and the day can start: you unzip your mind and you fell full of energy and wish to do.
It seems that you can feel this feeling just touching your cup, such as warm and exciting power of coffee will pass through the cup to reach you.
Coffee in the morning is like a cuddle, everything seems warm and cosy; but, in the same time, coffee is also a contradiction…you can like it sweet or bitten, hot or frozen, black or with milk…
So, I’ve tough to make a coffee cup (and all the breakfast set) in which you can found all these feelings…contradictions…one half plain…one half manufactured… smooth part against the other part all to touch…
Three elements form this breakfast set : a coffee cup, a tea cup (bigger) and a plate that, thanks to two tracks of different size, can be used for both cup…two size on the same plate. Moreover, the third sign on the plate can be used to put the coffee/teaspoon, or something else.
Two cups are made in ceramic by casting production process in a mould; the plate could be made either in ceramic or in polyethylene by moulding production process.
