Pico: A love letter to
Los Angeles
Designed and developed thoughtfully for both barista and coffee drinker, the notNeutral Pico collection is a fusion of my love for wheel-thrown ceramics and mass-production. The collection comprises of four cups and saucers (sized for the specialty coffee industry) and a ceramic spoon.
I was responsible for designing, 3D modeling, rendering, prototyping, CMF selection, factory correspondence for sampling, assisting with marketing/branding, graphic design supporting collateral, and art direction on photo shoots.
Materials: matte-glazed terracotta
Features: From the flat-topped ergonomic handle for a controlled grip and signature notNeutral curved interior designed for perfecting latte art, the cups also feature a glazed rim for a smooth
sip against the lip, a tulip shape for better heat retention, and its own ceramic espresso spoon, contoured to fit in the cup and lock into place in the saucer.
