"To rediscover the origins of the classic Italian coffee cup, I left Naples, and then continued on to other cities in Italy and Europe. I did not want to design an object with an exclusively Italian flavor but a product that spoke an international language, and that reflected my style ”, continues Federica Biasi. At the end of this investigation, the project becomes that of conveying an idea of ​​beauty as simple as possible to give an imprint to the traditional coffee service in step with the times. Refined, authentic, warm and personal shapes, without too many frills.

Lume means light, like the soft rays of dawn that reflect the white cups on saucers with delicate shades. In white porcelain with a matte finish and velvety to the touch on the outside, the cup is highlighted by the shiny ocher red contours of the frosted glass saucer. The thickness of the rounded edges helps the coffee to maintain foam and heat and gives an important weight to the coffee cup, according to the Neapolitan tradition.
