The Akemi tableware collection in white porcelain brings together refined craftsmanship and contemporary design, creating a dining experience that is both elegant and tactile.

Crafted from high-quality porcelain, each piece reflects a careful balance of form, texture, and functionality.

Akemi Dinnerware by ASA SELECTION GmBH, won a 2025 Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and European Centre for Architecture, Art, Design, and Urban Studies.

A defining feature of the collection is its distinctive relief pattern, inspired by the appearance of torn, overlapping sheets of paper.

This sculptural surface gives every plate, cup, and teapot a unique character, inviting both visual appreciation and a rich sensory experience.

The interplay between matte and glossy finishes further enhances the collection’s sophisticated aesthetic.

The mirror of the plates, along with the upper portions of the cups and teapot, features a luminous glossy glaze that highlights the purity of the porcelain.

 In contrast, the plate rims and the lower section of the teapot are finished in a soft matte texture, creating striking visual and tactile contrasts.

Beyond its elegant appearance, Akemi expresses a deeper design narrative. It tells a story of fragility and strength, sensitivity and resilience, translating these seemingly opposing qualities into objects designed for everyday use.

The collection seamlessly combines artistic expression with practical functionality, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate thoughtful design without compromising on performance.

With its harmonious blend of innovative textures, balanced finishes, and enduring craftsmanship, the Akemi collection transforms everyday table settings into refined design statements.
