ramic craftsmanship, Swedish design and contemporary fashion trends into quality products that celebrate the love of life? And the Mateus brand was born. This year Mateus is celebrating its 25th anniversary. We are marking this milestone with a new collection of ceramics created in collaboration with two international design talents, the French designer Sam Baron and Greek creative director and founder of Yatzer.com Costas Voyatzis. With this new collection, Mateus continues to reinforce its position as a global design company. But above all, the collection is a tribute to ceramics, one of the oldest art forms of mankind.

On the collaboration, Mateus founder and CEO Teresa Lundahl Mateus says, “I’ve followed Sam and Costas through the years and think their approach to form and design is a good match to our vision at Mateus. The starting point for all our collections is that they can all be mixed and matched. This is something I think the design duo has been successful with in the new collection, while creating a new, contemporary design language.”
Mateus has met worldwide success with its popular ceramics in lively, hand-painted colors and decorative patterns. The new collection, created in a palette of neutral, muted colors, marks
