The title of this project mimics a famous French book that documents plastic products of the space age.
The project consists of "utopian tableware items" in which a cork element is used on each piece, always with a different function, be it thermic insulation, grip or drop-stopping.
The pictures document the prototypes I developed for MIRO architects who, having the idea of using cork for a set of tableware items, asked me to develop the project.
I decided to pair cork with white ceramic and blue glass and then zoomed in on three different moments of the day: there are three objects with breakfast in mind, three for aperitifs and appetizers and three for lunch and dinner (one is not shown yet for copyright reasons - it's a wine glass).
