I just received a little eye candy in my mailbox: a beautifully printed brochure from Haviland announcing its upcoming launch of two exquisite, all-white china collections. While they look stunning as a set, the pieces were also designed to mix easily with other, more decorative plates, cups, and serving items should you desire (a look that I think is utterly chic and modern).
While browsing Haviland’s many lovely designs, this fanciful confection caught my eye: Jardin Francais, embellished with a sprightly hedge inspired by a French garden. Oh, how I wish I owned a china cabinet (or, um, a dining table) so I could by a whole set and show it off! I love how the pattern is so boldly graphic and yet subtly, even daintily articulated.
Jardin Francais was designed by Toulouse-based watercolorist (and former fashion designer) Veronique Lataste. I mean, really–with a name like La Taste you can’t help but to have amazing taste and design tableware, no?
