Rosenthal The legendary TAC service by Walter Gropius is getting a new festive décor. Decorative ornaments in noble gold allude to classic Rosenthal décors of past decades and adorn the strictly geometric Bauhaus designs, underlining their reduced formal language. The iconic design looks stylishly elegant, while the decorative variations such as trees and stars in four different styles, which are solely featured on small plates, make the porcelain look particularly sublime. The delicate festive decorations on plates and cups as well as on the porcelain table light make a good figure on the festively set table, alone or together, but also go well with the new powdery TAC Sensual shades Gentle Grey and Comfort Blue. Together they form a harmonious decorative arrangement with the timeless Bauhaus classic TAC, combining various gold ornaments, poetic motifs and tactile as well as visual highlights. They are not only appropriate for Christmas, but also for any other festive event. The collection is available from autumn 2023 in selected stores and online.

Now is the time
to shine!
A time of great celebration, the festive season is – traditionally – all about family, friends, food and the occasional drink or two. In short, it is the tableware industry’s time to absolutely shine... Denby’s Zoe Turner, head of marcomms, tells us how Denby works as well at Christmas as it does any other time of the year… Historically, are Christmas-themed collections a seller for tableware suppliers? Denby is ideal for Christmas dining – accessories such as foliage and handmade decorations, can give Denby’s collections that festive feel. Tableware should be used and loved every day, and it should be multipurpose, particularly in the current economic climate where consumers are looking for value and quality rather than one off or fast homewares. Do you find it difficult to innovate new products for the festive period? Porcelain Stars is popular overseas, especially in the USA, and is not only perfect for Christmas but works well for entertaining throughout the year. Denby does find that certain pieces are popular in the lead up to Christmas such as our turkey platter and sauce jug which are much in demand for festive dining.
