About
The Fringe Cup Set by Natalia Criado reflects the designer’s signature dialogue between ornament and function. Composed of six individually distinct cups and a rectangular tray, each element is crafted in silver-plated brass and adorned with fine silver chains and quartz details, transforming utilitarian forms into pieces of jewelry for the table.
Criado’s work explores the emotional and ritual dimensions of everyday objects. In this series, she reinterprets the act of sharing a drink as a moment of ceremony—where each vessel becomes a tactile ornament, catching light and movement. The subtle irregularities of the handmade process add intimacy, while the shimmering metallic surfaces evoke both luxury and playfulness.
Through this set, Criado blurs the boundaries between design, craft, and adornment—offering an experience that is at once domestic, sculptural, and profoundly human.

Biography
Natalia Criado (Colombia, 1985) is a designer whose sculptural metal objects bring artistic character and refinement to everyday environments. From a young age, she demonstrated a natural talent for design, which led her to obtain a diploma in Industrial Design in Milan, Italy, where she honed her craft and embraced a new cultural perspective.
In 2018, Criado founded her eponymous brand, creating tableware and objects that fuse pre-Columbian forms with Italian craftsmanship. Working closely with skilled artisans from Colombia and Italy, she combines contemporary design with traditional techniques, resulting in geometric, minimalist pieces that reflect a dialogue between heritage and innovation. Her work embodies creativity, collaboration, and a commitment to preserving artisanal traditions while reimagining them for modern living.
