The collection aims to make usage behaviour around an object a little nicer, using small functionalities to lead it where aesthetics and usefulness find their place simultaneously.


A family of liquid containers is part of a collection that relates to problem-solving the action of pouring. Normally it is very easy to get dribbles from the edge of the spout when you pour. Removing the spout from the container, replacing it underneath the lid and giving it a special texture, solves the pouring problem. It also makes the flow beautiful.
