Sucabaruca Coffee Set Embodies a Rich Blend of International Inspirations

— January 17, 2014 — Art & Design
Coffee drinking is an internationally enjoyed indulgence, so Luca Nichetto was inspired to create the Sucabaruca Coffee Set with a worldly aesthetic flavor. Looking to various countries and continents for artistic and cultural influences, the designer collaborated with Lera Moiseeva on a beautiful collection of crockery for Mjölk that's intended to heighten the experience of sipping.

Canadian maple wood was used to make the warm textured tray upon which the coffee pot and the handle-less coffee cups sit; meanwhile, the conical jug suggests the form of an Italian fictional character. The smooth and pale ceramic material makes mugs of lovely purist shapes that harken to the Scandinavian design tradition. Finally, the Sucabaruca Coffee Set is textured with subtle hand-carved patterns for distinctive fingerprints.
Trend Themes
1. Worldly Aesthetic - Exploring various countries and continents for artistic and cultural influences opens up opportunities for creating products with a global appeal.
2. Hybrid Material Usage - Combining different materials like Canadian maple wood and ceramic in coffee sets allows for unique and visually striking designs.
3. Hand-carved Patterns - Incorporating hand-carved patterns in crockery adds a personalized touch and creates a sense of individuality in a mass-produced product.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The Sucabaruca Coffee Set demonstrates how the fusion of different cultural elements can be applied to home decor products, creating a unique and visually appealing experience.
2. Kitchenware - The use of hybrid materials in coffee sets presents an opportunity for innovation in the kitchenware industry, allowing for the creation of functional and aesthetically pleasing products.
3. Ceramics - The incorporation of hand-carved patterns in ceramic crockery showcases the potential for disruptive innovation within the ceramics industry, adding a touch of craftsmanship to mass-produced items.
