SALSA PALETTE

TOUILLET

PRICE €140,00

Celebrating summer is what collaborators Lou Thomas and Justine Pruvot were seeking when they dreamt up this artisanal creation. 

The result is a fun and aesthetically-pleasing three-piece server to make picnicking in the warmer months more festive. 

The set features a centrepiece palette with six ‘salsa’ bowls and two mini spoons for serving with. Every piece is handmade by ceramicist Lou Thomas, whose practice includes initiating collaborations with chefs (like this one with Chef Justine Pruvot) that she conceives as a dialogue between two artisans.

As part of this dialogue, each set comes with a recipe, created and imagined by Chef Justine Pruvot, that responds to the possibilities of the ceramic’s design.

With no two of these hand-modelled pieces being exactly the same, each one is unique so variations in color, shape, and thickness, may occur.

Includes: One platter, 6 small bowls and 2 spoons

 

Touillet is the brainchild of its Marseille-based founder and cheffe en liberté (freedom chef) Justine Pruvot. The project brings together different crafts and craftspeople to create objects for ‘the art of the table’. This vision of Pruvot’s is reflected in the name Touillet – intended to be a meeting point between French terroir and craftsmanship.

Touillet entered the world of tableware with its first collection, inspired by walks by the creek and improvised lunches between friends that characterise a particular moment: The Picnic. Each piece within the collection is inspired by the seasons and stems from an original recipe by Chef Justine Pruvot herself. Playing with this notion of pairing plates with dishes, the collection enters into a collaboration with a range of artisan potters that highlight Pruvot’s encounters with inspiring and inspired women.

“Just like the chef who adapts based upon what’s found in the market that day, or growing in the fields this season, Touillet adapts to the constraints of the artisanal crafts it utilises – and plays with them.” – Justine Pruvot

Lorem ipsum, or lipsum as it is sometimes known, is dummy text used in laying out print, graphic or web designs. The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum for use in a type specimen book.
