Hello kitty.
One of the restaurants in our hood moved house in the autumn of 2021 - and with that they made a move onwards and upwards that they wanted their tableware to reflect. Yips does high-quality casual Asian food in a mix of take-away and eat-in, quite different from the restaurants we usually work with, making the challenge even more interesting.
We created tableware that has visual references to disposable products, made in a material and with a finish that lifts them into the restaurant world and enhances the dining experience. Just like disposables, these plates are made as functional as possible with minimum material usage.
The expression is s mix of perfect precision and handmade randomness, the centre part of the plate defined by a precise line, while the edges have a variation that softens the look. They are made in in strong but rather rough clay with a palette of muted colours all based on the same glaze.
