The Minale-Maeda studio developed this unique line of dinnerware to deliberately reference the industrial forms of machine parts. Every last porcelain mug, pitcher and platter has been shaped and detailed to look industrial, complete with notches, sculpted hinges and cutout shapes.
But despite the factory inspiration behind CADCAM tableware, the subtle bisque glaze of the pieces and the smooth edges and angles give each object a stylish softness.
