THE SPOON HOLDER

ARTIST

TOUILLET

PRICE €13,00
HEIGHT/LENGTH/WIDTH

2x7x2 cm

These spoon rests are handmade, each one unique and modelled individually by ceramic artisan Lou Thomas. 

Working from her workshop in Marseille, Lou imagines and shapes ceramic pieces inspired by different techniques discovered around the world during her travels.

Her passions lie in traditional craftsmanship and initiating collaborations with chefs (like this one with Chef Justine Pruvot), which she conceives as a dialogue between two artisans.

As unique and artisanal pieces with no two exactly the same, variations in color, shape, and thickness, may occur.

 

 

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.

Although glazed ceramics are dishwasher-friendly, to ensure their longevity and preserve their original state we recommend sticking to hand-washing only.
