Improve the spirits around your table with this luminous Aura serving set. Aura, which debuts as part of the fall 2008 line, is further evidence of designer Neil Cohen's ability to merge positive energy with practical need. Each item in this three-piece set if forged of lustrous, durable, rust-resistant 18/10 stainless steel, and the set comprises a three-pronged fork perfect for meat and poultry, a deep spoon for everything from peas to mashed potatoes, and a halo-slotted spoon for draining away unwanted liquid from the good stuff. All three pieces are dishwasher-safe.
Humor, playfulness and
serendipity may on first impression seem incompatible with the serious business
of designing products for Nambé. Meet Neil Cohen, who creates some of Nambé's
most popular and wondrously beautiful designs in metal, crystal and lighting,
and has a ton of fun in the process.
Cohen's forward reaching vision and
refined sense of shape, material and workmanship characterize his concepts. His
work supplies the kind of spark that engages the human spirit. We have said
that Nambé designs are "works of art you can use every day." With their
combination of humor and discovery, Cohen's strong, concise designs are just
that: meaningful experiences in themselves, apart from their functionality.
Holder of two degrees from Rhode
Island School of Design, Cohen has lectured at his alma mater, as well as at
Pratt and Parsons School of Design. His work has been recognized for its
innovation by the Steelcase/Interiors Design Partnership, featured in The New
York Times and New York Magazine and chosen for the AIGA's Objects of Design
Award. The Japan Arts Council has exhibited his designs. The prestigious 30
Under 30 exhibition in New York has showcased his work among 30 young designers
who are shaping the future.
