Queensberry Hunt

Martin Hunt and David Queensberry have worked together at the forefront of British product design for the last 40 years. Together theyve created some of Europes bestselling contemporary tableware, and designed the Coco crockery range for Jme. Coco was designed as a practical range that acts as the perfect canvas for food, says David. And the translucency of bone china gives it a glow that is almost whiter than white. For Queensberry Hunt, ceramics represent the meeting point of function and fine art, and their work is informed by the knowledge that todays utilitarian dish may be tomorrows precious artifact.
