Pane e Vino
A versatile table-top totem that morphs into a ceramic service set.
The concept of stackability holds significant importance in the designs of the Postwar Masters, stemming from the need to consolidate functions within limited spaces due to the shrinking of domestic living areas during those years.
Today, this necessity leads to the essence of things and raddresses two crucial aspects of contemporary society: on one hand, it means reasserting core values, and on the other, reducing waste. Bread and wine, timeless archetypes present across various historical cultures, eloquently symbolises a renewed call for rigor, reflecting a desire for fundamental values without sacrificing optimism and confidence.
The stackable table service thus emerges as a symbolic centerpiece, totem-like, comprising individual components that form a cohesive whole, adaptable both as a unified entity and as separate elements during communal dining experiences. It symbolizes the collective aspect of human interaction, particularly the intimate exchange of nourishment for both body and soul.
