Irregular edges

Designed exclusively by David Wiseman – an established star of the contemporary design world – Artěl’s Glacier bowl’s asymmetrical shape evokes natural ice formations while its hand-cut facets reflect light in mesmerising patterns. Available in purple, smoke and olive, as you would expect from Artěl the piece is mouth-blown, hand-cut and hand-polished. www.artelglass.com

Perfectly imperfect

From Amefa, Felicity brings the feeling of craftmanship to the table through the coarse, imperfect decoration on the handle. Note the high-gloss finish which gives the collection a stylish and modern twist. The hammered finish on the handle gives a nice reflection, which shows the shine perfectly. www.amefa.com

The straight and narrow is a path well worn, but what about things with a little extra oomph? Sometimes irregular edges – think scalloped but with oomph – are just the vibe we need. We take a look at some on-trend finishes…

Delightful dining

From Taitu Milano a glorious tabletop ode to Mediterranean living. The Dieta Mediterranea Collection feature pieces with motifs of vegetables, fruits and fish. There are 17 pieces in the collection, which can be used to serve and create for maximum impact.

The new Dieta Mediterranea Fish Collection reminds us how important it is to protect such an essential and precious resource. The main decorations are fish, crustaceans and molluscs: the sinuous tentacles of an octopus embrace the salad bowl, lively little fish swim in the small bowl, while lobsters and clown fish stand out on the rectangular shapes of the serving plates. The entire collection is designed to be mixed and matched. www.taitu.it

Warm tones

Utopia’s Moonstone collection has warm exterior tones perfectly balanced against hand-finished cool grey interiors to give a contemporary feel. The 21cm and 25.5cm Moonstone bowls have a raised lip with a gently swooping profile, giving an irregular appearance to add interest to the serve. This shape is carried through to the warm earthy tones of the 22cm and 25.5cm Goa bowls for an alternative setting. The reactive glaze of both Moonstone and Goa produces a variation in colour and intensity which makes each piece unique. www.utopia-tableware.com
