| Espresso Culture Takes Shape. |
Manhattan's venerable Guggenheim Museum is an example of the "organic architecture" of Frank Lloyd Wright, a radical departure from traditional museum design, spiraling upward and outward in a smooth coil of massive, unadorned white concrete.
The white stoneware tazzina (demitasse) cups and saucers are inspired by the famous architectural triumph, mimicing the building's concentric rings, increasing in size with each level. Functional, stylish, and sturdy enough to use every day, these unique pieces add an eloquent presentation to after dinner espresso service. (Cup is approx 2 3/8-inches high with a 2 1/4-inch diameter at widest point; saucer is approximately 5-inches in diameter).
