Donut espresso cups Vanilla - Pia Chevalier for Petite Friture

In creating the Donut collection, designer Pia Chevalier drew her inspiration from the world of baking. The ceramic artist d esigns her espresso like pastries , where the  cup handles mimic doughnut pastry, and the enamel finish renders a sugar-glazed coating look . The production techniques deployed are such that the shape and thickness of the cups are unique every time. The colour names echo the variety of flavours doughnuts come in: Lemon, Vanilla, Cherry, Blueberry, Bubble Gum, and Pistachio. Espresso cups are sold in pairs. The Donut collection’s strong personality stems from the design’s oversized handle. An original array of colours make the Donut cups perfect for gifting.  Made in Portugal .

The Donut collection combines everyday objects with works of art. Artist Pia Chevalier was inspired by the world of pastry-making to create this collection, imagining her pieces as cakes, with the glaze as the icing and the handle as the biscuit. The shape and thickness, the roughness of the material and the cracks in the glaze vary from one object to another.
