BIG-GAME
Swiss-based design trio BIG-GAME have created a range of kitchen items featuring a coffee set with kettle and pot that lets fresh drip coffee be fully flavoured. Although the collection’s defining characteristic lies in simplicity of form, it still makes use of the most advanced materials and cutting edge ceramic processes. Being porous, this ceramic coffee filter acts as a percolating device allowing the coffee’s gentle taste to be savoured. Due to the heat-resistant nature of the clay used, the kettle and cooking pot can be warmed over an open fire, in an oven or microwave. The pieces can then be used to directly transfer food to the family table as they serve equally as well as tableware. This is a beautiful design range with great versatility in everyday use.
Augustin Scott de Martinville, Grégoire Jeanmonod and Elric Petit are BIG-GAME. The studio describes their work as simple, functional and optimistic. They produce a variety of products and accessories for companies such as Alessi, Hay, Karimoku New Standard, Moustache, Lexon and Praxis. BIG-GAME’s work is often accessible, charming and, above all, useful. The studio has been awarded the Die Besten prize in 2005, the Leenards grant, the Swiss Design Award and the IF design award. BIG-GAME's works are part of the collections of the Museum fur Gestaltung, the Musée du Grand-Hornu, the Centre Georges Pompidou, the Fonds National d’Art Contemporain as well as the MoMA. The studio is based in Lausanne, Switzerland. In addition to their design work, the three founders of BIG-GAME also serve as professors at ECAL University of Arts and Design Lausanne.
