THE WATERS OF THE SUN
A set made in the true spirit of collaboration, these three cups and matching large coaster were envisioned and designed by artisan Lou Thomas and Chef Justine Pruvot.
The two Marseille-based creatives conceived of these pieces “to celebrate the waters of summer vegetables.” The three glazed cups sit upon a large raw and unglazed coaster made from the same stoneware clay, which has indentations to hold the cups intentionally. The coaster is fondly referred to by the pair as a “sun base”, the sun being the emblem of Thomas’ own ceramic brand Simoneloo.
Thomas’ 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 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.
As unique hand-modelled pieces with no two exactly the same, variations in color, shape, and thickness, may occur.
Includes: One large coaster and three small cups.
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

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