This sleek, hand-finished pitcher is a precise, easily controlled, ergonomic pouring tool. Truly a utilitarian object that is pure pleasure both to the eye and the user. Offered for sale in the MoMA store and chosen to be used in the Museum's three-star restaurant, The Modern, Robert Foster’s work stands forcefully alongside the furniture and tableware from modernist greats.

Three splendid pieces held in the National Gallery’s Australasian Art Collection are testiment to the importance of Robert Foster’s work and Fink and Co. products have been essential stock in the Gallery Shop for more than a decade.

Spectacular functionality disguised as works of art have made Fink and Co. products one of our bestsellers over the many years we have been offering them to our discerning customers. The pieces from Robert Foster’s company of designers happily sit beside international classics from design houses including Iittala, Rosendahl, Normann Copenhagen, Flensted, Marimekko, Stelton, Ego, Alessi, Skagen, Eva Solo and Menu.

Emerging from the European skilled crafts people and artisans of Canberra’s history, F!NK + Co. continue to renew this tradition. Robert Foster’s belief in the potential of the highly malleable and versatile properties of aluminium, married with his entrepreneurial vision drives a truly innovative centre of ideas and experimentation, realising products that are full of energy, reinvention, and originality.

Design is about everyday life. Fundamentally, that's what it is. Robert Foster’s work fuses art, craftsmanship and functional form. There are elements of retro, of Scandinavian lines and redolent Australian colours, but the elegant and principled way in which Foster crosses the genres defies classification. It is simply ‘Fink’.

All the products in the Fink range are distinguished by their stunning colours and sleek lines. The jug, bowl and new Coolamon are no exception…

We are currently witnessing a ‘coming of age’ for Australian design. Emerging now – from a nation that values its quality of life – is a locally strong and globally confident new design industry. Fink has earned an inalienable place in Australian design history, transforming utilitarian items into objects of pure pleasure.
