Came across this beautiful Daymer Bay tableware collection by Rick Stein and fell in love.

Inspired by the land and seascape of Cornish coves, this beautiful collection of illustrations were the winning entry in a competition Rick Stein launched to final year Art & Design students at Falmouth University, to create his new tabletop collection. Eight coves and bays from North Cornwall have been hand-painted in watercolour showing the depth and colour variations in the sea.

Tableware to Fall in Love with

Vanessa Anyaeji, designer and blogger, has already written one good article for us, but she did not want to stop on that :) So please welcome her article about company called MENU.

For the Danish design house, Menu, an unremitting characteristic that comes to light in both concept and cooperation is the juxtaposition of elements; the past with contemporary, rural with urban and rustic with simplicity. Obsessing over clever solutions and creating functional details for our ever changing world is what inspires these designers. Their pieces demonstrate a focus on good, original and utopian design; creating objects that not only incorporate novel materials but is also available to all classes in society.

Menu keeps design fresh and exciting, using juxtapositions to show how intrigue can be created by clever contrasts. Most recently, Menu teamed up with Norm Architecture to create The New Norm Dinnerware, a set of tableware especially made for Höst, a new restaurant in Copenhagen. With Höst being a culmination of romanticism and modernity, the Nordic scenery and minimalism, it seems only fitting that Menu should design their table ware.

The tableware is entrenched in tradition and timeless Scandinavian aesthetic. The multiple parts, materials and colours present themselves as new ways of expression. The focal point of The New Norm Dinnerware is around the essential white plate, which can be toned down with a smaller blue or grey plate – or even a granite slab to create a new atmosphere.

What I find intriguing about this collection is how much detail is taken to invoke the Nordic scenery. The light blue glaze conjures up thoughts of the Nordic summer evenings. The dark blue and grey glaze represents the vivid seas and cloudy skies. The brown wood tones convey the forest’s profundity, warmth and sensuality while the texture of the stone plate recalls the image of Nordic mountains.

Both Athezza and HanJel companies, which we met at Maison et Objet show, provide their customers with great furniture and accessories design in popular nowadays modern vintage style, which we like so much. Their stand at the show was beautiful, which attracted a lot of people and made all the representative very busy.

Athezza company was founded by Bruno Martin in Uzes, South of France, originally selling only two types of products. Nowadays the company creates and produces tableware, home textiles, lighting and decorative accessories for home and garden. And if you are thinking of Athezza accessories, you are automatically thinking of HanJel furniture.

HanJel is a young company which was founded in 2004.

The company produces essential and functional classical pieces to furnish charming houses and original contemporary models with clean lines which will suit urban and modern interiors.
