Lithic Service No. 1Lithic Service No. 1 explores soapstone as both a thermal and structural medium, pushed beyond its expected limits. Impossibly thin panels are mitered and folded into faceted vessels with bold geometries for hot and cold sake service. Utilizing soapstone’s natural thermal properties, the pieces are designed to maintain the temperature of warmed or chilled sake with the ability to prime the pitcher in the freezer or oven.
