SATURNUS DELUXE
Schnapps Server
Material: Porcelain
Characteristically off-beat, this piece is inspired by Tomi´s interest in cartoons and toy-like forms. A real showstopper of a serving item, the Saturnus Deluxe is guaranteed to break the ice at parties and the bottle itself may be chilled in the freezer so the schnapps will stay nice and cool.

FRAGILE
Handbuilt Lantern
Material: Porcelain
Fragile is made from a single sheet of super fine porcelain. Inspired by the Japanese art of origami, this lightweight piece accents beautifully the flickering light of a candle. |
