Piatina Plate
When Objects Work
The Piatina Plate by John Pawson is an understated design crafted from a single piece of varnished dark ebony. The subtle indentation in the center allows this to work beautifully as an elegant coaster, a place to store keys or jewellery, or as a soap dish in your bathroom.
John pawson
For over 30 years, John Pawson CBE’s work – rigorous in its simplicity and modesty – has addressed the fundamentals of architecture. It spans a wide range of scales and typologies, from private residences, museums, and hotels, to ballet sets and sacred spaces.
Like Alvar Aalto’s bronze door handle – “the handshake of a building” – Pawson’s work engages with a philosophy of space through sight and touch. He applies the exact same approach to both buildings and design commissions: “it’s all architecture”.
Regardless of scale, all of his projects share a consistent focus on mass, volume, surface, proportion, junction, geometry, repetition, light and ritual. In this way, even a modest fork becomes a vehicle for much broader ideas about how we live and what we value.
