Code Collection | Tableware is a six-piece porcelain dining set that integrates graphic cues to subtly guide cutlery placement, referencing traditional etiquette with a contemporary, playful twist. Each dish features demarcated patterns that indicate where silverware should be positioned after a meal, transforming tableware into a medium for visual instruction and cultural storytelling.
This collection serves as the foundation for a broader system of functional objects inspired by the 1853 "Manual of Urbanity and Good Manners" by Venezuelan author Manuel Antonio Carreño Muñoz. A seminal text in Latin American social history, the manual codified behaviors for civilized interaction within society, becoming a reference for etiquette and decorum across generations. The collection aims to reinterpret Carreño’s principles through the lens of contemporary design—bridging historical protocols with modern dining culture, reframing tradition in the context of today’s evolving social rituals.
