CO-mer is a series of containers that trace and rescue the origins of eating, sharing and baking bread.  The three pots collaborate symbiotically to accompany the bread-making process; each one configured with a unique function and a correlating one vis-á-vis the whole. 

The biggest pot is used to mix and knead the flower and water, while the smallest one is where the dough reacts by leavening. Water and earth, together, invite the air to join. Then, by integrating the middle-sized container, all three pots are combined to form an oven, where the bread is cooked over fire. At last, the middle-sized container is used to provide the bread.

The containers are fabricated in clay from Pomaire, a rural town in heart of Chile’s central valley that treasures an ancient pottery tradition. Their circular shape stems from the material’s turning process, symbolizing an equidistance between the convened guests, inviting them to share.

CO is the Latin prefix that refers to mutuality normally in harmony. Prefixed by CO, ‘comer’ is the Spanish for to eat: the CO reminds us to always do it together./
