Product Spotlight Villeroy & Boch
Be inspired... Villeroy & Boch has taken inspiration from its treasure trove of in-house patterns, creating a dinnerware collection based on the popular Memphis décor from the La Boule series. Interestingly, this is the first time Villeroy & Boch has made a dinnerware collection from a La Boule pattern. Memphis (originally inspired by the legendary 1980s Memphis design movement) has been developed into a 14-piece collection – think geometric patterns paired with a vibrant colour palette. The plates from the premium porcelain tableware collection – made in Germany, of course – boast raised edges which provides a contrast with the extravagant shape of the bowls. There are also two serving plates, and a small and large vase.

Did you know? The Memphis Group, also known as Memphis Milano, was a likeminded group of Italian designers and architects founded by Ettore Sottsass. The collective – active between 1980 to 1987 – created postmodern furniture, fabrics, ceramics and more, often characterised by bold colourways and abstract decoration.
