About MeFor this coffee pot Knight has considered the traditional tall cylindrical form
seen in 18th century silver coffee pots.
From this starting point he has created an angular shape and an unusual handle which challenges our perception of the object's function. The silver conical body with pointed foot is stabilised by the blue- anodised pierced 'wing' handles.
