La Espresso

La Espresso is a portable espresso maker designed for travel. La Espresso is a non-electric coffee set that combines heating, grinding, extraction and milk frothing in one compact system. The brewing handle, a familiar symbol of espresso preparation, acts as the point of force for extraction.

Brand: Mikhail Chistiakov Design Type: Tea Set Tag: Kitchenware Published: Thursday, 8 October 2026

Attimo

Attimo (meaning "moment") tea set is made of first-class thin-walled bone china. The metaphor of the shape of objects is a stopped moment of time. The handle-stone falls on the smooth surface of the porcelain, and creates "circles on the water" running along the object. So every touch for the handle is a touch for frozen time. This complex asymmetric shape of the service items is especially difficult when implemented in porcelain. However, the use of the hollow handle technique, proactive correction of firing deformations, made it possible to achieve an ideal geometry.

Brilliant Olive

The design of the olive branch symbolizes enduring vitality as a representation of peace, wisdom, and prosperity. The leaves are arranged in alternating pairs along the branch, creating a spiraling pattern that signifies growth. Some leaf pairs resemble hearts, evoking warmth and peace. Gradient olives add a mystical touch, with the leaves and olives laid out like puzzle pieces. From the side, the overlapping leaves form a complex motif. When viewed from above and filled with a beverage, the inner leaf patterns reflect, creating a shimmering, lifelike design.

Tsuzumi

Tsuzumi has a symmetrical shape with two cups on either end, and each has a different color. You can use Tsuzumi to serve sake, some kind of strong alcohol, or delicacies, but just displaying it as a piece of art could satisfy you because of its nobility and gracefulness. It harmonizes with almost anything. Normally, makie is applied to the body or the inside bottom, but in the case of Tsuzumi, it is positioned as if it looks peeking out from inside. This is the very essence of Japanese beauty, which is modest but impressive. Layered urushi, tamenuri, creates graceful shades in the cup.
