Marble matters– exploring Carrara’s legacy
Sixteen young international architects took part in two intensive training days in Carrara, organized by FUM Academy and YACademy, featuring visits to the marble quarries and a design workshop focused on the use of the material.
The porcelain cups are characterised by their elegant geometric design, which is derived from the shape of old weights, used previously in combination with a scale to measure and weigh ingredients in the kitchen. "We have looked at old weights that were used in different ways in Sweden and elsewhere," states Förster.
The porcelain cups have a matte finish on the outside, and are glossy on the inside. Tower seeks to be a versatile series: the cups can be stacked up or placed inside each other in order to save space.
Available in different shades of blue, gray and green, the Tower cups can be used in multiple other ways, as small containers in the kitchen.
