To eat alfresco can be a great way to enjoy the nature that infiltrates the city, and the Nendo Kotoli for Ruinart is a picnic set that embodies this overlap with absolute elegance.
The image of birds perched along telephone wires is recreated in the design of this bird cage travel box, complete with a straight edged handle and a matching cantilevered bottle stopper. The collection includes stemless champagne flutes that must be held between the fingers, or set down in a rather precarious way. Small metal clips hook onto the handle and the stopper which provide a closed loop in which the tapered glasses can be placed. An excursion with the beverage set by Nendo, Kotoli for Ruinart, might be your ticket to a refreshing inner city escape.
