THE RUDIMENTERRE PROJECT
THE PROJECT
A EUROPEAN CUICUI
Imagined in Canada after three years of R&D and small-scale production to test the market, the interest in Cuicui continues to grow. Today, we want to offer a Cuicui made in Europe. We are currently looking for a manufacturing partner and hope to offer a European Cuicui very soon.
THE CONCEPT
CUICUI, A RELAY FOR HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE COOKING
Rudimenterre takes shape through a forward-looking, restorative vision, offering a simple way to bring meaning and pleasure back to everyday food: Cuicui.
A versatile terracotta cooking relay for a healthy, sustainable, cooperative and economical kitchen of the future. Cuicui explores the natural connections between food and cookware, as well as the way people use and experience their kitchen.
Cuicui’s innovation combines clever architecture with the sensitivity of terracotta to cook more with less.
Less drinking water, less energy, less waste.
More flavour, meaning, autonomy, people and togetherness.
THE CREATOR
IT IS BETTER WHEN IT IS BEAUTIFUL
Rebuilding connection, meaning and flavour is Carole Briet’s goal, as the creator of Rudimenterre’s Cuicui. Passionate about historical and artistic heritage, Carole became a designer specialising in the renovation of old buildings in France. Her interest in natural materials and ecological construction led her to clay and its thermodynamic exchanges.
After training as a ceramicist and three years of R&D to refine Cuicui’s design and making, Carole now develops its full culinary potential, shares economical, zero-waste recipes and builds cooperative cooking workshops.
