The design lab team has developed a series of gift kits exclusively for the ICU of the U.S.U.S. The incredibly light, elegant, yet very comfortable porcelain coffee pairs are made in the brand colours of the Higher School of Economics and are based on the illustrations of students at the ICU School of Design.
The coffee pair is represented by a cup and a dish with a single motive for painting, which is aesthetic and functional, both together and separately. There were two stories in the collection: Maria Guseva’s tender spring and Julia Pridatkina’s graphic «birds».
«In this illustration I wanted to create a spring mood in every kitchen, and to give every master and host a sense of ease, joy and good mood» — Maria Guseva
The «birds» series refers to the school’s mascot, a raven, and focuses on human life in today’s city. The kits are made of a bonus porcelain with limited circulation at the Imperial Porcelain Plant.
