SERAX Ra - White cake stand

Ann Demeulemeester founded her eponymous fashion label with long-term creative partner Patrick Robyn in 1985 and quickly became a key figure in redefining the voice of fashion internationally. In 2014 she stepped down from her fashion label and has since been exploring a variety of new formats, including sculpture and ceramics.

The designer is known to represent an intelligent approach to design - rising above trends and instead offering a continually evolving world that is both deeply personal and profoundly relevant to its context - thanks to its integrity and fierce independence. In essence, Demeulemeester’s work continues to explore and celebrate contrasts – a beauty that is found in the interplay between strength and fragility, structure and nonchalance, poetic and radical, preciousness and functionality.

The fine plates of Ra rest on a pedestal and literally elevate the food that is served on them. Cups and bowls were given a straight base and follow the same sculptural expression. A tall cake stand completes the collection. The tableware comes in three versions: off-white silk matte glaze, in a timeless and warm ivory color; a black matte glaze on the outside, with a glossy off-white glaze on the inside; and a matte green glaze that offers a green eating environment.
