Slovenian Summit Poetry Coffee Set

The Alpine Poetry coffee set of handmade porcelain evokes images of the Slovenian mountains and feelings of adventure, joy, connection, peace and strength. The image of the mountains is subtly woven into the outer surface with a three-dimensional porcelain line. The line is a silhouette of Slovenia's most recognisable mountain ranges, Jalovec and Triglav. Jalovec, as the most beautiful and characteristic mountain, appears in the logo of the Slovenian Mountaineering Association, while Triglav is a recognisable and popular symbol of Slovenia and refers to the story of the symbolic purchase of the summit of Triglav by Jakob Aljaž. The peaks of the Julian Alps represent the Slovenian spirit in its original form and appeal to all mountain lovers. The image of the two Slovenian mountain ranges reflects Slovenia's natural heritage, its identity as tourism and sports destination and its history. The creator was driven by the desire to unite seemingly unrelated passions: art and love of the mountains.

The cups have a minimalist and functional design and are suitable for drinking espresso, macchiatto and coffee with milk. The simple vertical shape of the cups stands out from the minimalist base for an elegant look. The cups are completely handmade, preserving the traditional methods of handmade porcelain design. Due to the characteristics and complexity of porcelain, modern technologies are not suitable for processing this type of product and for pre-production (e.g. three-dimensional printing). Porcelain is stronger than other ceramics, translucent, and has a thin, sophisticated appearance.
