Statement Martini Mixer & Spoon Ltd Ed
Arne Jacobsen / Paul Smith
Origin: Denmark
Lovers of design classics are in for another treat. Ever since the 1960s, bar accessories from Arne Jacobsen's Cylinda-Line have defined the good life when it comes to serving everything from the perfect martini (shaken or stirred) to a classic scotch and soda.
Paul Smith has transformed Jacobsen's bar series into a gorgeous fantasy in black. The special titanium alloy surface lends the steel a rich, deep black colour. Handles on the serving tray and the ice bucket remain in the original brushed steel finish, creating an effective contrast. Another surprising innovation is a collection of statements by the British designer himself, engraved into the black surface to reveal their message in steel. Paul Smith asks us to consider thoughts such as "Take pleasure seriously" and "Start something new" as we enjoy our drinks.
Statement is the ideal gift for the design-loving man or woman
who is celebrating a special birthday, an anniversary or merely
the joy of everyday living.
The black colour is titanium surfacing, which gives a very hard and durable surface. The statements are engraved through the titanium surface and into the stainless steel.
Statement is being produced in a limited edition in 2010
Materials - 18/8 Stainless steel with titanium surface.
Size: H 19 cm, Dia 8.5 cm, 1 Litre
