Amsterdam designer Aldo Bakker has designed a range of porcelain tableware for producers Frans Ottink.
The collection includes a salt cellar, oil and vinegar flasks, oil platter, milk jug and water carafe.
Incidentally, Aldo is the son of Gijs Bakker, co-founder of Droog design.
The collection is available from retailers Wannekes.
Below photographs by Erik en Petra Hesmerg.
I love the fluid ergonomics of the forms. It is obvious that the designs come from an attention to their physical interaction with the human hands.
beautiful ans innovative collection ….i’m a fan as gijs
This is so nice. Very gentle and sweet. I dig it…. a lot!
nice one!
Nice Stuff!!
Did anyone think about how the water jug would be cleaned? It’s a beautiful form but it will be slimy with mould after a few uses.
looks really cool … but is this good in practice?
Really nice……beautiful
Nice. Very nice.
FANTASTIC!!! absolutely amazing!!
Very cool, and very original, LOVE IT !!!
“prof” zuy, these items are designed by aldo and not gijs bakker
very very nice items.. congratulations aldo!
really lovely.

the best thing on dezeen for a long time….
I disagree with all this I am afraid…. It looks like a collection of toilet/urinal or devices for incontinent people (some pictures more than others, the ones with olive oil expecially). I wouldn’t like these near my table!
great forms + function. design as it should be.
I just love when all the design related comments revolve on the concepts of “cool” or “very nice”.. is like talking and actually saying nothing..
sorry for being always critical. Anyway the shapes of this objects sure are quite unique, but as others have pointed, the actual everyday use for them still slips my imagination. An oil platter? Just for dipping bread? Why not a plate?
I must be getting old..
Pretty awesome shapes. They look as if they are from another civilization, perhaps a parrellel culture; where methods and rituals of eating have evolved differently to what is commonplace in the western world.
WOW !! Really nice & functionable but cleaning them inside needs brushes of similar caliber!!
Nice forms, bitch to clean
absolutely fantastic
sorry but this is very cheap design with no clear voice. The shapes are poorly modelled too. What happens to your table when you place the oil tray flat? cleaning is also an issue. small openings to vessels with corners at their bottoms. how do you clean it? just makes no sense. is ugly and made just for photos. get serious
people consistantly design rubbish like this. We have enough objects. stop trying to solve a problem that does not exist.
lia , i know who is who, Gijs and Aldo on this photo
