Although YIELD prefers to work with local and domestic manufacturers, they ultimately choose to partner with a Fair Trade, family-run ceramics house in an ancient village near Hanoi, Vietnam. The manufacturing company boasts a 700-year history of ceramics production, with tricks of the trade passed down from generation to generation. The facility is now run by the 8th-generation grandson of a famed ceramicist from the 18th century. The workers are given fair pay and safe and ethical working conditions. Child labour is never used.

For anyone who likes their coffee intense and flavourful, look no farther than this ceramic French press by YIELD. With a cool, clean and understated silhouette, yet with maximum functionality and elegance, it has set a benchmark for everyday utilitarian objects.
