15 New Products being introduced to WARM series
In 1998 the original WARM series was exhibited for the first time as the graduation work of Brian Keaney. Shortly afterwards the first orders were completed and after Tonfisk Design was launched in 2000 the WARM series has been its trade mark product. Presently the WARM series is retailing in over 20 countries worldwide and is included in the collections of several museums including Les Arts Decoratif in Paris. Since 1998 several new pieces have been gradually added to the range however the range has continued to lack bowls and plates. Now in autumn 2010 fifteen new pieces designed by Brian Keaney will be added to the range. The new pieces include 4 sizes of bowls including the large Salad Bowl and Soup Bowl (see picture below), 3 sizes of serving plates, 4 sizes of dining plates a candle holder and a new cappuccino cup. The functional and aesthetic characteristics of the original range are continued with the combining of ceramic and wood with simple forms. Functional characteristics include the possibility to use the serving plates as lids on the bowls. The new pieces will be launched in Helsinki at Design Market (30.-31.8) and Habitare 2010 September 1-5 (stand 2c61) and will also be available in autumn from all Stockmann department stores and Tonfisk Design’s own webshop.
