Bronto Espresso Cup (Set of 4) Orange

CA$129

Stocky, bulky and bold, Bronto tableware is a pleasing handful of ceramics. An ample mug and chunky espresso cup are immediately recognizable by their uncommonly fat handles. A side plate and bowl’s rounded edges and nonchalant shapes follows suit. Even the smallest of the Bronto family, an eggcup, has serious chunk. As with all Supergroup designs, breezy forms belie technical expertise and, in fact, the exaggerated soft outlines of the Bronto range are a feat of ceramic production. A joyful color palette of high gloss glazes, plus a natural clay option, completes the Supergroup signature. Bronto is intended as your go to set for casual breakfasts, and zippy coffee breaks. ‘Small but mighty’ might be a fitting description of the Bronto Espresso Cups. These diminutive vessels pack a punch because of their elemental forms and bold color.

Supergroup

Supergroup is a collaboration between ceramic artist Ian McIntyre and illustrator John Booth. Although at first it may seem like their work is informed by different points of view, these two artists have been exploring their common creative ground in their London studio for some time now. Amongst these is a shared appreciation for accessible design and works that have transparency; with John this is reflected in his unpretentious illustrative hand and for Ian in utilitarian and functional forms. Supergroup is the formal coming together of these two makers and the platform from which Ian and John will present their future collaborations, whilst simultaneously continuing their own practices.
