Milk and Sugar Set 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.
