Selene

Bring a whisper of understated sophistication to your daily meals with the Selene collection. In these pieces, traditional Japanese-inspired beauty meets contemporary form in a collection of blue and white dinnerware that is retro in attitude and perfect for contemporary life. Each is a calm tableau on which to serve your meal, elevating every meal—you know, a Tuesday breakfast or a Saturday evening dinner party with friends—to something special.

The Art of the Everyday: The Selene Story

The Selene collection is a call to discover beauty in everyday rituals. Our design is a result of deep affection for Japanese aesthetics, whereby indigo blue depicts peace and profundity. We reinterpreted traditional floral vine patterns to adapt to modern homes.

A central feature of Selene is the artful variation in its patterns. This intentional design choice means that every bowl, plate, and platter has its own unique character, much like handcrafted pottery. This turns your collection into a personal gallery of functional art, making your porcelain dinnerware set a one-of-a-kind assortment that is truly yours.

Designed for Your Life: Beauty Meets Practicality

While beautiful, the Selene collection is crafted to withstand the rigors of daily use. This is elegant tableware made for real life.

A Perfect Blend of Materials

We selected two very different materials with care to give you the best of both worlds. The plates, bowls, and serving pieces are crafted of premium porcelain, a material famous for its exceptional strength and light weight. Baked at high temperatures, porcelain is non-porous and chip-resistant with a shiny glaze that is effortless to clean. For an early morning coffee or a late evening tea, the collection offers durable porcelain mugs.

Designed for Practical Versatility

The Selene collection offers practical flexibility for your home. Start with a core set and add individual plates or bowls as your family grows or your hosting needs change. This approach also means that if a piece breaks, you don't have to find an exact match; another Selene pattern will blend in seamlessly. This moves beyond the limitations of uniform dinnerware sets, giving you a durable and adaptable collection that evolves with you.

Convenience for the Modern Household

Your tableware should simplify your life, not complicate it. Every piece in the Selene collection is completely safe for use in the microwave for quick heating and the oven for keeping dishes warm. When the meal is over, cleanup is simple, as the entire collection is dishwasher safe.
