Synopsis

The objective of the project was to widen the client’s range of exclusive home décor products in ceramics, glass and silver. The main focus was on designing a range of tea lights, serving platters and vases that lent a festive and fresh feel to the decorated space.

Purposeful in functionality and contemporary in form with many possibilities for silver embellishments, the designed platters gave a feel of delicacy and elegance. Tea lights were made in plain coloured glass to create a contrast between the silver embellishments and the glass surface. Terracotta vases with elongated and easy-to-clean spouts were also part of this collection. Inspiration was drawn from orchids, irises, hummingbirds and peacocks to create motifs for the silver embellishments.
