Plate by John Pawson for When Objects Work
This collection of tableware began with the idea of equipping the refectory of the Abbey of Nový Dvůr in Bohemia with a set of implements and vessels appropriate to the functional and aesthetic needs of the monastic community.
The designs reflect a commitment to the discipline of paring away until what is left cannot be improved by further subtraction — ‘I seek the comfort of exactness, an absolute precision of scale and proportion’.
John Ward Pawson CBE is a British architectural designer whose work is known for its minimalist aesthetic.
These slightly dished plates are available in three sizes, and can be purchased either individually or as a set of six.
