The transformative process of making fresh espresso informs the Moka Pot’s design. The glass funnel, framed between the two cast-iron cubes, shows hot water entering the cluster of ground beans and emerging as espresso on the other side.

A Simple, Modern Teapot Limited run of 300. Inspiration: I’ve always been entranced by small, beautiful things that are so detailed, they seem like miniature worlds, yet so ordinary they’re often left unnoticed. I designed Sorapot to emphasize one of my favorite- the unfurling of tea leaves. Sorapot suspends the process of tea making in a glass tube a few centimeters above your tabletop. Unlike standard teapots that confine tealeaves in a small mesh basket, your leaves will have full run of Sorapot’s interior as they unfurl and change the hot water into tea. You might even see a tea-colored shadow cast by sunlight that passes through the tube and comes to rest in a gossamer puddle on your table.
