PLANTOIR Coffee Set – 5 pieces

The PLANTOIR Coffee Set – 5 pieces in faience described here is more than just a simple coffee tableware set. It is a functional piece of art, meticulously hand-decorated, with a white interior contrasting with a vibrant red exterior. This color combination is not only aesthetic but also functional, as faience is known for its durability and impact resistance. The design of this set was inspired by the reliefs of the iconic public artwork known as “Plantoir”, created by artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. The giant trowel, reinterpreted here in the form of a mug, captures the playful and monumental essence of the original sculpture, transforming it into an everyday object that celebrates the concept of applied art. Produced in Portugal, this set not only honors the country’s artisanal tradition but also offers essential modern features. It is a versatile product, suitable for use in various conditions: in the refrigerator for safe storage, in the microwave for quick heating. Portuguese faience, long appreciated for its smooth finish and durability, is the ideal material for this coffee set, as functional as it is aesthetically pleasing. Every hand-painted detail reveals the care and skill of local artisans, who preserve traditional techniques while adapting to contemporary demands for functionality and food safety. Thus, this mug is not just a household utensil, but a piece that incorporates history, art, and practical utility. By acquiring this product, you are not only investing in a guaranteed quality piece but also supporting a tradition of craftsmanship that has endured through the centuries, elevating the everyday to the category of art and the functional to the level of beauty.
