Form & Refine 2023: Quatrefoil
9/11/2023
With "Quatrefoil", Jonas Hermann from Form & Refine has designed a table made of oak, whose legs meet in a line and in this way enable both visual lightness and comfortable sitting.
The Alcoa ceramics line stands out. It is clear and simple in form. The handle creates a functional and recognizable expression for the line. The surface is a balanced matt grey on the outside and a high gloss grey on the inside to give a subtle contrast. The name Alcoa refers to the region Alcobaça in Portugal where the ceramics hail from. The region has a natural richness of fine white clay which has cradled a culture of pottery.
