Since its debut in 2001, Villeroy&Boch's NewWave collection, sometimes referred to simply as "Wave" has remained a crowd favourite for its bold, innovative design. It's so special that it's now become a collector's item as a stunning example of 21st Century German design.
This fabulous mug, saucer-plate and stainless steel spoon, are superb examples of how NewWave challenges traditional tableware by ditching predictable round shapes in favour of asymmetrical forms, inspired by the natural curves and motion of ocean waves.
Villeroy&Boch believe that one of the most groundbreaking features of the range is this award-winning signature mug, which has been created from a single continuous piece of porcelain; this means that the handle isn’t glued on, but is seamlessly formed as part of the cup.
Sometimes, design can get in the way of practical use, but NewWave is a successful blend of art and function. You may just want to display the set as a pleasing example of 21st Century design, but if you decide to use it for a cuppa and a biscuit, it works,
The mug also comes with a ground breaking teaspoon design, part of a NewWave flatware range that enjoys sleek lines and an ergonomic shape which, in this case, is cleverly balanced to hang over the side of the mug. It's fashioned out of 18/10 quality stainless steel.
