The DUET Porcelain Carafe from an extended conversation between designer and maker: form and function refined through material process and shared intention. The collection examines how objects shape everyday moments—pouring, placing, pausing—and how considered design can transform simple gestures into acts of reflection and care.
The Carafe forms part of a limited edition capsule collection entitled Everyday Rituals made in collaboration with Dutoit Studio and Nattier Ceramics, exhibited at Bookshop by Uro for Melbourne Design Week.
