EAU

At first glance, the unpretentious EAU tableware series conjures images of a pleasant evening in a relaxed atmosphere or an informal meal in the company of family or friends. Every superfluous detail has been pared back to focus on function, yet it has a distinctive and surprisingly strong character. “We really liked the off-white colour,” commented the judges. “And the precision of the design, of course, because it ensures that individual pieces such as the cups can easily be stacked. This is an unbeatable advantage, especially for informal table settings or buffet set-ups where tableware is stacked for self-service.” The precision design, which is applied consistently across all elements of the set, also ensures that the plates are a perfect fit when used as lids for the bowls. “Another attractive and functional detail is the all-round moulding on each piece of the tableware. On the one hand, it ensures stable stackability because it serves as a stop ring. On the other, it provides subtle accentuation,” praised the jury. EAU’s design makes it a convenient everyday tableware set that can be easily stored in any kitchen, no matter how small. Another striking feature is the elegant shiny surface, which is pleasant to the touch and gives the porcelain an exclusive appearance. EAU is a perfect example of classic understatement that doesn’t detract from creative table decorations and culinary offerings, and it matches any combination of colourful accessories or beautiful table linen. Thanks to all of these characteristics, EAU truly is tableware for all occasions – from elegantly staged to casually arranged. In keeping with the zeitgeist, it represents minimalism in the sense of multifunctionality and flexibility rather than asceticism. EAU represents the stylish expression of minimalism through flowing forms.
