Gollnick gave MAKOTO its own: a low rectangle on a hidden foot, sized for a cup and something sweet, and glazed to match the rest of the collection. Gollnick, born in 1966, has run his own studio in Germany since 1997 and has drawn on Japanese design for his whole career. He works by a simple rule taken from that tradition: no object outranks another, since even the smallest piece has a purpose. More than 100 products and awards from iF, the German Design Award and Red Dot have come out of that studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You’ll Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the piece that makes a coffee feel like an occasion. Two espresso cups fit side by side, and a tea cup leaves room for a biscuit. It also works as a spoon rest, a soap tray or a ring dish. The rectangle contrasts nicely with the round MAKOTO plates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade for Real Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDishwasher and microwave safe, according to blomus.
