Serie C | Tableware

LIMITED EDITION OF 100 SETS

Serie C | Tableware is the beginning of a system of utilitarian products, based on the principles established by the Venezuelan Manuel Antonio Carreño Muñoz in his 1853 Manual. In Carreño’s Manual, as is known, he establishes the sets of rules and social codes of good manners and civility of the time, in order to interact successfully within the social context, making this compendium a reference in Latin America for the proper protocol structure and etiquette.

 

Once the guidelines of the Manual have been studied, Rodolfo Agrella reinterprets it in a contemporary way its articles and develops the service set of 6 pieces in porcelain, providing a new way of understanding such protocol, thanks to the creation of graphical coding for cutlery. Agrella develops demarcated patterns on each piece of crockery, where it is shown, with his ludic spirit, the proper placement of silverware after eating food. Serie C | Tableware, as an educational tool, seeks to reconcile the dynamics of the table within current society, recovering manners under the contemporary perspective.
