Manhattan Zuri 12" Wood & Fine China Ribbed White Serveware

This began as a college project during Ayushi Rai's time at NID, where she was asked to design salt and pepper shakers after observing how dining tables function in real homes.

During those visits, and later in her own kitchen, she noticed something simple. Every table had the essentials. Salt, pepper, pickles, tissues, spoon holders. Everything required for a meal was present, yet never together. Each object came from a different time, a different design language, a different material. Functional, but scattered.

The idea stayed with her.

Years later, while thinking about a wedding gift for her guests, the thought returned. What if these everyday essentials could exist as a single, cohesive ensemble? Something that organizes the table without announcing itself. Something consistent in material, proportion, and use.

The set features White Fine China pieces distinguished by a softly ribbed form. The vertical fluting adds rhythm and tactile depth while maintaining a clean, restrained presence. Anchoring the ensemble is a Peca Mango wood tray, chosen for its natural grain and warmth. The contrast between smooth ceramic and natural wood creates a visual dialogue that feels both refined and grounded.

Developed by Lazzaro, this ensemble reflects an approach where form, material, and proportion take precedence over ornamentation.
