Okan Ovacık's Pitcher Set, inspired by the elegance of swans and the glow of fireflies, has been honored with the Iron A' Design Award 2025 for its unique blend of porcelain artistry and functional beverage service, crafted in Ayvalık, Turkey and designed to elevate both everyday and special occasions.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Okan Ovacık's Pitcher Set, recently awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware category for 2025, redefines beverage service with its harmonious blend of artistry and practicality. Drawing inspiration from the slender, graceful form of swans-symbols of love-the set features a porcelain carafe and accompanying goblets that bring both elegance and innovation to the table. The project, which spanned eight months and was meticulously crafted at the Monte Porcelain Ayvalık workshop, showcases Ovacık's commitment to merging tradition with modern design sensibilities.
The Pitcher Set stands out for its thoughtful engineering and artistic flourishes. The carafe's elongated neck not only adds visual sophistication but also serves to aerate beverages and maintain their temperature, making it ideal for serving wine, water, or soft drinks. Each goblet, created using a unique firefly glazing technique, combines glass and porcelain to play with light and color, enhancing the sensory pleasure of every pour. The set's design ensures a seamless, drip-free experience, with the mouth and handle angles carefully calculated for comfort and functionality.
Produced through a meticulous process involving liquid porcelain casting, high-temperature firing, and hand-applied decorative techniques, the Pitcher Set is both food-safe and dishwasher-friendly. Ovacık's dedication to sustainability and craftsmanship is evident in every detail, from the careful selection of materials to the ethical production methods that respect both nature and tradition. The set's technical excellence, combined with its decorative appeal, makes it a standout piece for both everyday use and special gatherings, while also serving as a unique home décor item.
This award-winning design not only celebrates the artistry of Turkish porcelain but also exemplifies the integration of form and function, offering a refined yet practical solution for contemporary beverage service. The Pitcher Set's recognition by the A' Design Award jury underscores its status as a well-designed, innovative, and emotionally resonant creation that brings beauty and joy to daily rituals.
