Emma Montague Cocktail Olive Picks

The Villa Lena olive picks were created by designer Emma Montague during her artist residency at Villa Lena in 2016. Living and working amongst the olive groves Emma was inspired by the surrounding Tuscan nature and local food culture. ‘Each day I harvested the debris from the dinner table: remnants from the shared meal, conversation and our small daily rituals. From these fragments I created new tools to serve smaller mouthfuls, simply to savour those moments and flavours.’ Emma is a Danish-Australian designer based in London. Her multi-disciplinary approach to jewellery and product design demonstrates a preoccupation with materials and experimentation, with an acutely honed eye for image-making and creative direction.
