New from Design House Stockholm

We are excited to announce that we have just released Catharina Kippel’s Cobalt series by Design House Stockholm. Cobalt-based blue pigments have been used since ancient times for jewelry and paints, and to impart a distinctive blue tint to glass and ceramics. During the 19th century and early 20th century, china from Ostindiska kompaniet, Kunglig Dansk, Gustavsberg and Rörstrand gained global reputation for its quality and design. Kippel’s Cobalt collection is made in the same tradition, with the cobalt blue designs hand-painted in three layers on slightly transparent bone china. Like all true high-quality products it will only become more beautiful with time when used. Also from Design House Stockholm are the new Timo & Timo Termo glasses. Intended for both hot and cold liquids, the Timo is a clear glass with a thicker waist to help protect your hands from burning and the Timo Termo goes one step further as the glass is equipped with an outer spiral layer of silicon. Both are sold in sets of 4 glasses (in branded gift box) and are very reasonably priced - what a lovely present for mother's day!
