Nicolas Marischaël reimagines the tea set as a unique sculpture, instigating an unexpected interaction between the wood and the solid silver. An elegant creation which opens up like a constellation of stylish spheres. Four complementary spheres constitute this piece, each having a distinct role: samovar, burner, teapot and tea box. This handmade piece combines beauty and functionality as it conveys an elegant weightlessness and warps our sense of space.

 
This piece was first shown at the “Hors les murs” event organized by the Grands Ateliers de France in Monaco in October 2010.

 
Each element can be ordered separately.
