The pieces, produced in collaboration with Italian architect Rodolfo Dordoni, are designed to be used as cookware and tableware.

The Abct collection is made from enamel-coated aluminium with clip-on handles, enabling vessels to be used on direct heat. Wooden disks can be used as lids for storage or as a base for protecting surfaces while serving.

The Foodwear range of pans, made from stainless steel with a polished interior, is designed to need less space for storage. Items in the line can be used as serving bowls or trays, and the glass lids can be changed into a presentation stand.

As LS:N Global explores in our Leanomics trend report, the push towards leanness and cultural decluttering is creating a new aesthetic, away from the glossy and heavily marketed, in favour of the clean cut and essential.
