Sudpsuez “Floral” Dessert Plate Red
These "Floral" plates are hand-made and hand-painted by Zsuzsanna Nyul exclusively for Cabana. Crafted from high-fired stoneware, they are the result of a unique method that leaves the bottom of the plates unglazed. The classic yet whimsical hand-painted decorative motifs in red are based on historic ceramics from Transylvania: the inspiration for these pieces springs from a desire to create a contemporary object that still retains familiar elements. Their charming spirit is perfect alongside both similarly rustic tableware and more contemporary pieces: or better yet, a mix of the two.
Sudpsuez A Mechanical Bestiary: Automaton Clocks from the Renaissance by Alexis Kugel
Words by Alexis Kugel
This exhibition, Galerie Kugel’s tenth, continues the tradition of seeking out little-known but fascinating fields in the art world. Renaissance automaton clocks have never been the subject of scientific study, authors of horological reference works devoting at best merely a chapter to them.
These automaton clocks date from 1580 to 1630 and were for the most part created in Augsburg, the main German artistic centre of the time. These wonderful objects combine the arts of sculpture and horology. Rivalling in fantasy and ingenuity, they fascinated the European courts. Today, they can be found in museums holding great princely collections in Vienna, Dresden, Munich. Automaton clocks were also used as diplomatic presents.
The thirty-one automaton clocks presented in this exhibition and book are the largest group ever displayed. While studying them we have made surprising discoveries. For example, the troubling similarities between some of the most extraordinary anonymous clocks displayed here: the Elephant (cat. 3), the large Pacing Lion and his Tamer (cat. 7), the large Seated Lion (cat. 9), and the Chariot of Bacchus (cat. 11), which strongly argue for their having been produced in the same workshop. Among all the clocks published in this book, only one comes from Nuremberg (cat. 21). The chronological presentation that we chose also led us to rethink the conventional dating of certain pieces.
The title “Mechanical Bestiary” is somewhat restrictive, for among the clocks presented here, a quarter represent human figures without animals, and certain pieces possess no mechanical movements. Yet the thirty-one pieces assembled here clearly form a homogeneous and coherent whole. All were created for the same reason: to amuse and delight the collectors of their time.

The striking geometric pattern that splashes across the Tiles napkins was inspired by antique Moroccan ceramics. Its pure tones of blue, red, and green evoke the sun-drenched riads of Marrakech, lending a spirit of timeless elegance to your table and providing a delightful accompaniment to the layered effects that we love so much at Cabana. Each napkin is made in Tuscany from 100% linen using traditional artisanal methods.
