The Cup Suite"

In 1999, Manfredi Enterprises commissioned Rod Bamford to design a range of new coffee cups to accompany the launch of Espresso di Manfredicoffee. After 18 months of refinement the first cups splashed down in cafe's and retail stores in Australia.

The 'cup suite' includes the elegant latte beaker, a ribbed cappucino cup, espresso beaker and a unique universal saucer . The clarity of white porcelain compliments the simple, classic forms and enhances the drinking of coffee.The universal saucer is an innovative design which fits all three cups as well as being a beautifully rippled serving plate. It is designed to both frame the cups and steady them while they are being carried, an important consideration in busy cafes.

“ the suite needed to have a have clean contemporary feel but also a timeless quality. In particular I wanted the design to reflect an Italian flavour, and to celebrate the great contribution Manfredi's restaurants have made to Sydney dining ”
