A contemporary handcrafted design and local production by Luis Fernández Codeseda for GANDIABLASCO
The contemporary revision of the quintessential artisan object
An iconic object in Mediterranean culture that GANDIABLASCO adds to its collection of botijos
The Tomé botijo is a design by Luis Fernández Codeseda that seeks to highlight a piece of craftsmanship with a long tradition in Spanish culture. This porous clay container cools water by evaporation and over the centuries has adopted multiple shapes and styles. The very gesture characteristic that must be done to drink from it, holding it tilted in the air, has inspired Luis Fernández.
“Tomé is born from a memory of my childhood, in which a botijo crowned the well of my house. The image of my grandfather comes to me drinking from it, with that precise, almost choreographed gesture, that fascinated me because it broke with the way I had been taught to drink. There was something in that action that caught me, I suppose it was because of the inclination or the suspension of water in the air. That image never left me. As I trained as a designer, I understood that objects also connect us with memory, inviting us to experience them in another way,” explains Luis Fernández Codeseda.
