Winner of the first prize in the Copper and the Home competition of 2012, staged by the Istituto Italiano del Rame, Francesco Morackini’s Prohibition Kit turns out to be an interesting exploration of the world of alcohol distilling apparatus. The set comprises a cooking pot, a small fondue burner, a fruit bowl and a watering can: common kitchen utensils that, in combination, form a complete set of equipment for distilling spirits, an activity that is illegal in many countries. Separately, they can in any case be used as utensils for cooking and housework, and are all made of copper, the prince of materials for cooking food as well as being beautiful to look at.
