Coffee and Tea Seen Through Designers' Eyes

Luca Nichetto previously experimented with a brilliant, Memphis-inspired colorway for the Sucabaruca set.

Researching tea rituals, Luca Nichetto noticed that tea in Russia is served in handleless bowls, which inspired the shape of the vessels.

The product, produced by centuries-old Japanese porcelain maker Kihara Ceramics, includes a pot, strainer, and two bowls. (The Sucabaruca tray, also by the two designers, is pictured with the set.)

The Sucabaruca Coffee Set is manufactured by Kahara Ceramics, a Japanese porcelain company with a more than 400-year history.

The bowls can be stacked on top of the pot for more streamlined storage.

Kahara Ceramics is based in Arita, Japan, and uses traditional ceramic techniques, while also integrating new technologies.

The shape of the vessel was inspired by Carmencita, a television character created by Armando Testa in 1966 for the show Carosello.

Recently relaunched by Mjölk, the latest edition of the Sucabaruca Coffee Set was designed by Luca Nichetto and Lera Moiseeva.

The glazed porcelain coffee set comes with a pot, a filter funnel, and three cups, which can be stacked together.
