After years of being part of the Italian avantgarde movement Memphis, Italian designer Andrea Branzi began, in the 1990s, to concentrate on more classic design matters. Highlights of his recent work include objects in which he combines silver and birch wood. This tea and coffee service was produced in a limited edition of 25 pieces for the gallery Argentaurium in Zoute.
