The Banana Madeira Pitcher combines ceramic craftsmanship with detailed botanical relief work inspired by the banana trees of Madeira island. Designed in collaboration with Nini Andrade Silva, the surface recreates the dark wrinkled bark, broad verdant leaves, and slender stems of the island's iconic flora. The sculptural detailing extends across the body of the pitcher, giving it a tactile, naturalistic quality alongside its pouring function. Part of a collection recognised with both a German Design Award and the Iconic Awards Innovative Interior category in 2020.
World renowned interior designer Nini Andrade Silva has teamed up with Bordello Pinheiro to develop the 'Banana Madeira' collection, an ode to the designer's birthplace. Here, the island's iconic banana trees are celebrated through a series of ceramic tableware pieces in which their dark wrinkled barks, large verdant leaves and delicate stems are painstakingly recreated for a tropical dining table layout. This pitcher forms one part of the award winning collection, which in 2020 won both a German Design Award and the Iconic Awards Innovative Interior category.
