Cooking with Design: Thompson by Peter Ibrugger

Hello design lovers!
The protagonist of the section Cooking with Design of this Friday is the original sugar bowl Thompson of the British designer Peter Ibrugger. This visionary designer has approached a simple object such as the sugar bowl with the bowler hat worn by men in early '900 and was born Thompson.
The sugar bowl Peter Ibrugger reminds fact the bowler Charlie Chaplin or the characters painted by the surrealist painter Magritte.
Thompson is in china and is available in white and black.
For a really unusual effect you can use it in conjunction with the Moustache Mug to keep warm our drinks. How about this gentleman on the table?

Buongiorno design lovers!
