ARTISANS OF LIVING x Eat to Live

SERIES 1 - EAT TO LIVE

In 2026 we celebrate two decades of craft. During the next 12 months we will have a series of installations titled "Artisans of living" at our shops in Cape Town and Bucharest hoping to inspire you to make artisanal work part of your everyday life

We start our series with a table setting because nutrition is an important part of a healthy life. In a world of processed, sophisticated cuisine overwhelmed by eccentricity and fusions, most often we have no idea what is on our plates. We want to remind of "eat to live and not live to eat". Food should be at best a reason to gather your family around and strengthen old traditions. Thus, we want you to "digest" the idea that food is eaten for sustenance and it is not an obligation to entertain, or to be seen. What is on the plate should be in focus and should be savoured without interference

Our artisans created a table setting that is subtle, the classic traditional basic shapes most familiar to us all, made by hand from porcelain and refined in its utmost detail. Simplicity is the hardest to be achieved by any master, but it has the ability to enrich ones perception the most. No cutlery in sight, that will be left to your imagination...
