Historische Carafe van Daphne Zuilhof
Daphne Zuilhof is a designer and maker. She likes to create everyday objects with a twist; playful and stimulating curiosity. From crockery to folding stools.
The starting point for the design of Carafe is the search for artefacts and shapes that contain something very precious and vital: water. What comes to our mind's eye when we think of: 'vessel', 'object to hold water' or 'container of liquid'?
An old terracotta amphora with its round belly and small round ears. A glass wine bottle; slim and straight with a high narrow spout. The casual curves of a Delft blue ceramic jug. A plastic milk jug that is both square and round, with a slight notch that accentuates the area around the small, angled handle.
Daphne likes to think that, like the terracotta amphora, there will be a time when plastic bottles will be a thing of the past, a past we can get nostalgic about. Carafe is an ode to all those archetypes - and of course; an object to hold water.
Carafe has a capacity of 1 liter. It is completely handmade and therefore, there may be irregularities in the product. In addition to serving water and other refreshments, the Carafe is also very suitable for serving wine. Aeration enhances the taste of a wine, plus the natural property of the ceramic pottery keeps the wine nice and cool.
