SETCAST by voonwong&bensonsaw- 08.16.08
SETCAST is a new gorgeous bone china collection from London architects, voonwong&bensonsaw. “The SETCAST collection is the result of a close collaboration between voonwong&bensonsaw and one of China’s most distinguished manufacturers of bone china, Asianera, based in Tangshan, the porcelain capital of northern China. Together, the companies have developed a collection that makes the best use of bone china’s excellent light-reflective properties and also moves away from traditional decorative tableware to focus on striking new typologies that make a bold statement.”
My favorite part of the collection is definitely these Molecule Dishes ~ in Large ($90), Medium ($75), and Small ($65) available at Merchant4~ they are extremely affordable, and the simple clean packaging would make them great gifts for almost any occasion! See more images of the full collection as well as a peek at the factory (which is going GREEN in 2009!) on the next page…
We also hear that currently voon wong & benson saw are working on design/construction of a new facility for Asianera that will be “all green”. Their manufacturing facility is quite large (living quarters for employees included), and will hopefully be completed in 2009.
Amazing. The thought that entered my mind after that was that the Molecule condiment dishes would be a bugger to place on the rack after washing.
