Texture

to the table

A key element of any good interior designer’s armoury, texture adds depth, drama and flair. And texture on the dinner table is no different. We highlight some key pieces designed to bring the table to life…

Modern moments

Mesa Ceramics new coupe mugs with innovative textures and patterns – boasting bold and on-trend colours – are ideal for complementing your tableware sets. With the possibility to mixand-match decors there’s an infinity of set combinations.

The use of digital printing technology allows the creation of new pieces with a character that speaks for itself. www.mesa-ceramics.com

The royal touch

From Porcel comes Royal Velvet, a bold collection which demands to be the centre of attention at the table. Inspired by royalty, the collection’s decoration is achieved by using reactive inks, which when in contact with the porcelain create a unique effect. The intense silver and violet hand-applied texture is distinct in every piece and creates a memorable tactile experience. www.porcel.com

Animal magic

From Rosenthal, a lovely assortment of cute porcelain animals in delicate shades of brown, stone, rosé and white. Dog Alfonso, cat Smokey, monkey Gordon, pig Alley, mouse Elvis and the owl Snow White look like they have been knitted by hand and are available in three different sizes. Each figure is gift boxed and a perfect present. www.rosenthal.de

In circles

Utopia’s Santo collection puts circles centre stage with texture added to the surface by a digitally printed design of roughly drawn concentric circles that focus the eye to the heart of each piece. There are five colourways in the Santo collection; taupe, tropical, dark and light grey and cobalt. www.utopia-tableware.com

Elevated layering

Texture and relief can be seen in many collections from Denby Pottery and they use the effect to celebrate the beauty of modern craftsmanship and design.
