Tazza
Morrison Cousins; Venini S.P.A.
Object Label
Morrison Cousins, a noted American industrial designer, was hired by the houseware company Tupperware to redesign its ubiquitous kitchen food storage vessels in the 1980s. This strikingly reductivist tazza also was designed by Cousins, but not for retail; it was a limited-edition incentive award for Tupperware distributors in Japan.
