Tonfisk
FINLAND  

Founded in 1999

The name Tonfisk means Tuna in Swedish. The idea was found unsurprisingly off a can of tuna. Very many ideas for the name had been proposed but only "Tonfisk" suited their idea for the brand: something fresh, unconventional but still very much commercial.
Its first workshop was set up in Helsinki, and in Spring 2000 Tonfisk launched internationally at Ambiente. It immediately received international recognition being invited to several exhibitions and featured extensively in the international press. Tonfisk's WARM range quickly became one of the year's newest trend objects.
By 2001 Tonfisk's customers included The Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA), Harrods in London and Corsocomo in Milan. Tonfisk has moved in Helsinki's suburban area of Pihlajamäki and found a new partner in ABR Innova Ltd to help it fulfil its aims.

'Newton' is a new way of serving sugar and milk. The mechanism in Newton-set is based on gravity: You can pour cream without removing the sugar - the attached sugar bowl. While you tip the milk jug, the sugar bowl remains level.
'Newton' is designed so that the sugar bowl can be easily removed for refilling the milk jug and also stays securely in place while pouring.

The cup's base is designed with a small bump that tilts the cup when placed on a surface. But when placed on the saucer, the cup stands straight. Thus when you have finished your espresso and are waiting impatiently for your companion to arrive you can keep your hands occupied by gently spinning the cup.
