The Harmony of Gentle Shades

They remind you of slowly melting ice-cream, the sky in springtime, or scent-laden rose petals. They are loved by stars, celebrities and fashion designers of everything from prêt-à-porter to haute couture. In the fashion world they are known as sorbet shades or nude tones, interior designers call them pastels. They create a romantic ambience and conjure up a sense of ease and well-being.

Quinsai Garden: Style quote from the Asian world
For Quinsai Garden Villeroy & Boch has combined a décor of Asian blossoms with a paisley pattern in delicate grey, and applied it to the successful Modern Grace form. The fine porcelain is decorated with four different blossoms that Marco Polo could have seen on his journey to and around China: the opulent peony, standing for wealth and noblesse; the delicate camellia, associated with generosity; the colourful chrysanthemum, symbolising courage, stamina and a long life; and the magnificent magnolia, the flower of the emperor and beautiful women.

The monochrome paisley pattern provides a bold contrast to the flowers. If the six differently decorated dinner plates are placed next to one another the décors create a striking overall impression. Wall mounting is available that allows the six plates to be displayed together, forming a convincing decorative highlight.

Rose Cottage: Charming gifts
The new gift article collection Rose Cottage features fresh pastel tones like rose, sky-blue and lime-green and is perfect for relaxed moments of enjoyment. The traditionally inspired but nonetheless modern décor with exuberant rose blossoms is light and airy but also sensuous and feminine – perfect for young, fashionable women who like to fill their homes with naturally beautiful things.

Floreana: Vintage watercolour look
The tableware décor Floreana creates fine colourful highlights in table settings. The décor draws inspiration from the floral patterns of historical copperplates and plays with the appealing contrast between a contemporary modern aura and a self-confident retro attitude.

The delicate watercolours in blue, green and red are particularly light and fresh. Combining the gentle blue and green tones introduces a feeling of summer and blue sky to the home. The fine red then provides elegant touches of colour.
