The four elements earth, wind, water and air provided inspiration for Villeroy & Boch’s new décor Amarah, developed with an eye to the current food and style trends in sophisticated gastronomy. In the gentle natural tones Taupe, Red Sun, Terra and Aquamarine, the dynamic brushstroke décor is redolent of time-honoured craftsmanship and hints at the Orient. A fine craquelure effect further underscores the antique nature of the design statement.
Amarah brings to the table an understated décor in restrained colours, providing a perfect stage for culinary creations. The new décor is thus ideal for a wide range of presentation needs, acting as an eye-catcher for both casual and fine dining, and functioning well in lobbies, lounges, bars or trendy pubs where popular snacks are served.
Selected shapes and colours
The selection of tableware items available in the Amarah collection ensures great versatility and expressiveness. The individual pieces can be variably combined to fashion fascinating plays of shapes and colours on the table.
The characteristic plates of the Marchesi line, created by Villeroy & Boch with the leading chef Gualtiero Marchesi, form the basis. There is a choice of various flat and deep plates, all decorated in Red Sun or Taupe, ideal for exclusive meals. Flat coupe plates from the Dune series, available in a range of sizes in Aquamarine, Red Sun and Taupe, extend the spectrum of table presentation possibilities.
The Amarah décor has also been applied to various pieces from the successful NewWave collection in the colours Terra, Aquamarine and Red Sun. Diverse combinations and a wide array of utilisation options are offered by the shallow rectangular plates with their characteristic waved shape and the round bowls and bols that further develop the NewWave design.
The line is completed by three differently sized cups and saucers from the Caffè Club collection, which has been specifically designed for coffee specialities. The formal minimalistic cups and round saucers are available in the shades Terra und Taupe.
All the Amarah items are dishwasher, microwave and salamander safe and thus live up to the highest levels of functionality demanded by the modern hotel and catering industry.
The Amarah décor is available from 1 July 2014.
Amarah décor will be on Show at Hotelympia on the Villeroy & Boch stand 3558
