Jug
The project
Because of the performance that this piece suggests, it never looks lost when it lies unused. For it even performs as it waits to carry out its function: pouring.
To use it you turn it upside down so that the big opening points upwards and fill it with water. When full, the Jug balances on the table; when empty, you can turn it upside down again to cover the cup.
Committee
This organic water jug owes its elephant-like shape to the stable way in which users pour water from it: with a supportive and guiding hand below the jug’s belly. Aesthetics with a highly idiosyncratic character, matching Bakkers existing family of table objects.
