DESIGN Cecilie Manz
Pura
Pura lives up to its name. The form language of the series is minimalist and delicate. The bone china has a pure and refined expression and the translucency and whiteness of the china give the design a glowing purity. The form and expression of the design, uncompromisingly reduced to pure function, make the series multifunctional – all parts may be used in different ways. The plates, for instance, may be used as lids to the bowls. The series is perfect for the minimalist home with no room or desire for superfluous objects.
Lay the table with Pura and the elegance of the series will manifest itself – and the food you serve on the plates and in the bowls will receive maximum focus. No superfluous details will disturb your guests’ perception of the colours, taste and consistency of the food.
The product is a second but without visible faults
Cecilie Manz graduated from the Danish Design School in 1997. Since 1998, she has operated her own design studio in Copenhagen. Here she designs furniture, glass, lamps and other related products, primarily for the home.
Cecilie Manz often finds inspiration in insignificant everyday situations, and she subsequently develops her ideas. Some never leave the drawing table, whereas others take shape and become everyday objects in the form of functional tools.
Throughout her career, Cecilie Manz has had exhibitions at EXPO 2005 in Japan and at the Danish Design Centre (the solo exhibition Taking Stock in 2005 and the exhibition Honey I’m Home in 2006). Moreover, she has won a great number of Danish and international awards for her designs, including Kunstpreis Berlin 2008/Architecture, the Finn Juhl Architectural Prize 2007 and the Danish Design Prize 2004 and 2008/2009.
