Made by hand, with LÜV.
Project Description
Inspired by the Alessi hugging salt and pepper shakers, the abstract figures and clean smooth lines are a sculptural conversation starter… clean enough to sit atop the dinner table top but equally at home amongst the dirty dishes.
Wanting to experiment with a new production process, I leapt in head first to design and prototype this set of shakers. Making the decision to move into manufacturing is another beast entirely, so I contracted the expertise of Louise Bousquet, a master ceramicist to scale up production at her studio in outside of Montreal, Quebec.

Additional Info
The shakers are slip cast in hard porcelain which originates from Limoges, France. This particular type of porcelain is ultra-white, requiring a firing temperatures between 1350°C-1400°C, to achieve a very hard, more vitreous, glass-like quality.
