Luno by Marten Jakobsen

For an elegant and minimalist kitchen, the new set from the Czech product designer, Marten Jakobsen, tries to expand and enhance the aesthetic vision of one of the most sacred environments of the house. The simplicity of linear glass jars is combined with the original touch of cork sphere stoppers, resulting in a beautiful and perfectly functional collection of containers.

The author Marten Jakobsen is a well-known contributor of the Minimalism circle, especially focused on finding and implementing innovative solutions as in his latest project. The aim with Luno was to develop a very efficient product with simple and clean lines. This desire naturally translated into the use of basic materials like glass and surprisingly, cork, which well complements the hardness and clearness of the base with its soft, bulky texture.

The name is referred to the table game Ludo, given the close resemblance to its colors and shapes in the famous wooden version of the game. Of course an even more objective resemblance, and possible association to its name, is that of a full moon sustaining itself in the threshold of a crystal cylinder.
