This design bridges a gap between fine dining and casual situations. It is inspired by natural forms in particular by Urchins and Corals. The polymer body shells allow strong colours to be employed and resist the corrosive effects of the contents. The size is practical for domestic use whilst being ergonomically functional to hold and the assembly allows for easy batch production. It brings colour and a talking point to dinner parties where it becomes a 'table sculpture' as well as functional object. The materials and appearance make it suitable for an informal gathering of friends.

Clive and Tina Bullivant started 'Lovemirror-mirror' in August 2013 to draw on their backgrounds as designers and silversmiths. They chose to work specifically in Pewter, a traditional material for art metalwork making their products more accessible to a wider audience. Their work is characterized be richness of ornament and decorative use of supporting materials. Pieces make eye-catching use of colour both in stones and crystals used and in the organza backings applied to their products.

CNBconcepts was recently formed to offer design solutions and creative concepts for a wide range of retail products including tableware, furniture, fashion jewellery and kitchen and culinary design. We will work to a specific brief but make a point of pursuing individual design ideas for their own sake. Our designs always start as inspirational drawings which are enjoy client and team input. The viability of any concept is always tested before initial development stages involving CAD and solid modelling. We use a range of professional contacts to further develop an idea or a client may take the concept at this stage for their own research and development.
