Lattiere e zuccheriere in legno

The Plank collection was designed by Nendo, the Tokyo-based studio founded by Oki Sato. Nendo is known for distilling complex ideas into objects of quiet simplicity, and the Plank series reflects that sensibility through its precise pairing of porcelain and wood.

On the sugar bowl, the wooden lid is held in position by the sugar spoon, which slots through the lid and rests against the rim of the bowl. This makes the spoon a structural element of the object, not merely an accessory.

Yes. They are conceived as companions to the Plank coffee cups and other pieces in the Plank collection by Zens and Nendo, all of which share the same material vocabulary of white porcelain and natural wood.

The bowls are made from porcelain with a natural wood lid. The combination references a long tradition in East Asian ceramics of pairing fired clay with organic materials, updated here through a distinctly contemporary design perspective.

The pieces are crafted for use, not display alone. Porcelain is a durable, food-safe material, and the wooden lids are designed to function in the ritual of serving tea or coffee rather than as purely decorative elements.
