Each piece takes the form of a raw, brushed aluminum cube, each face of which is hollowed out with a perfect circle. A play of solids and voids of absolute precision, somewhere between Bauhaus sculpture and refined tableware. They can be used as napkin rings or egg cups.

Pierre Vandel is one of the most renowned figures in French design of the 1970s. It was his friendship with Pierre Cardin that propelled him onto the international stage, connecting him with a wealthy clientele from New York to Tokyo. Their collaborations in aluminum are now among the most sought-after pieces on major vintage design platforms such as 1stDibs and Pamono.

On your set table, they will transform the everyday into a carefully curated display.

A rare and complete set from one of the most iconic collaborations in 1970s French decorative design.
