Selected items – We change the way you think about forever.
This exceptional coffee set is a striking example of postmodern design from the late 20th century. Clean, functional forms meet unexpected color accents—an intentional play with conventions that is characteristic of the design approach of that era.
The set is made of high-quality white porcelain and includes a coffee pot, a milk jug, as well as six coffee cups, saucers, dessert plates, and egg cups. While the basic forms are calm and minimal, the details create deliberate contrasts: purple cup handles, a yellow handle, a red spout, and a gray lid with a colored knob give the ensemble a lively, almost graphic quality.
Rabold’s design is exemplary of postmodernism: functional, yet with a subtle sense of irony; minimalist, but full of expression. The colors appear like intentionally placed “splashes”—small interventions that brighten everyday life and add character to the table setting.
This set brings lightness and individuality into daily life. It is not merely decorative, but a piece of design culture meant to be used every day. Perfect for those who appreciate functional design with personality and want to add a subtle yet impactful accent to their home.
A true statement piece for the breakfast table—minimal, playful, and timeless at once.
