Supplement-taking has become a daily

routine for many, so Alexander Purcell

Rodrigues decided to elevate the mundane

habit with some ritual-worthy kit. To

give his concept the gravitas it deserves,

he collaborated with two respected

Slovenian companies, stone specialist

Marmor Hotavlje and artisanal blacksmith

Kovačija Krmelj, to create a grey marble

fluted tray, and a pair of cups, saucers and

steel serving tongs.
