Inspired by Japanese designs, Giel Dedeurwaerder and Brent Neve from the designer collective Utilise.objects created cups made of solid acacia wood and a cast-iron teapot. The combination of the warm wood tone and the indestructible cast iron gave the service exactly those durable, functional, and aesthetic characteristics that the duo was looking for. And those same features have been awarded the Henry Van de Velde Awards 2019 in the Habitat category.
