Sugar & Cream is a coffee and tea piazza set consisting of 1 coffee pot, 1 tea pot, 1 filter and stand, 4 mugs/teacups, 5 spoons, 1 sugar bowl, and 4 saucers.
Inspired by oceanic textures and forms, this set aims to harmoniously combine geometric forms with oceanic textures. It is made of historically rich materials like brass and wood to invoke a sense of classical nostalgia. By incorporating fundamental forms, the piazza set becomes a contemporary centerpiece.

Based on the visual research, I started sketching the ideas in my head, which evidently featured curves and scalloped edges. The handle needed more attention because I wanted to make them unconventional.
