Magisso's Naturally Cooling Ceramics collection was the winner of the prestigious GIA (Global Innovation Award) for the Best Collection Design of 2014. The Naturally Cooling Ceramics collection of products was designed exclusively for Magisso by UK designer Simon Stevens. Originally trained in ceramic design Simon has created award winning tableware designs and is a driving force within ceramics, tabletop and home-wares product design. He has worked with some of the World’s most prestigious ceramic manufacturers and has taught and lectured on the subject throughout the UK. Simon’s dynamic creativity can be seen not only on the High Street but his most successful ranges are also part of the permanent collections of the V&A Museum and Frankfurt’s Museum of the Contemporary Applied Arts. Inspired by our interaction with everyday objects Simon designs the familiar and makes it not only a pleasure to use but something to visually enjoy. And, so, collaboration between designer Simon and the Magisso brand would seem to make perfect sense and perhaps, even inevitable. Magisso is a Finnish brand on a mission.
