2017 |Â Our design ‘presentation platter‘, a cookie jar from the ‘Novecento‘ 2015 collection, has many fans. The product does not leave people untouched and is well know by different brands. It has been the inspiration for several designs ever since. The function of storing cookies and sweets and serving at the same time turns out to be a good combination. This was also noticed by the Dutch brand Puik. The given assignment could therefore be defined into one sentence: Can you also design something like that for us? ‘With great pleasure’, we thought, and we got to work. It turned out to be easier said than done: after all, there was already an icon with this function on the market. We came to the conclusion that a material change was necessary. Glass and wood was too similar to the original design. If we were to make both parts out of glass, not only would there be a new function – you could turn the jar upside down and use it as a plate as well – the design would also differ enough from the first, without loosing quality. The base and the top both have a nice curve, which subtly draws the design. We also opted for rainbow colored glass, which ensures that the design fits every color in the kitchen or living room.
