SEDA Vase

The design for the brand new SEDA fine bone china collection has been inspired by the elegant flow of fabric. It captures a moment in time, like the graceful motion of a silk scarf in the wind. SEDA is the Spanish word for silk, and just like silk the collection is a joy to touch – the sensuous surfaces are smoothly hand polished to complement the distinct tactile shapes. Each piece is traditionally handcrafted, meticulously finished and fired to vitrification.

BOULES - Tumblers

BOULES glasses are tactile tumblers with a jaunty element, intended to make a bold contemporary statement on a table. The tumblers have delicate hand cut lenses which perform as tactile points of interest. The slightly off-centred base on the bottom adds another playful element, arranged in a small group the glasses appear to be rolling and dancing across the table.

FROOTY - Sensual Smoothie Cups

For many smoothies have become the modern way to consume fruit. Smoothies are healthy, convenient and tasty, but fruit touches more than just the taste buds; fruit is seductive and playful, it comes in all sorts of colours, shapes and textures. Eating fruit is a real sensual experience. Just like fruit, FROOTY Cups seduce and stimulate people’s senses. They invite users to embrace the curious and playful by offering a new tactile drinking experience: Feel a taste - tickle your senses!

SAMBA - Spice Shakers
