Paris, France
Christian Lacroix design team joins forces with Portuguese Vista Alegre Atlantis Porcelain Factory to createHerbariae Parade Collection, a delicate porcelain tableware series that sought inspiration from a table centerpiece created in the 17th century to embellish the table at the French court as well from 18th-century Naturalism.
The Herbariae Parade Collection was recently awarded a 2021 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Adorned with elegant drawings of plants, colored in soft hues of Céladon green and Primevère yellow, the fine white porcelain pieces with black hedges and details go back to the previously developed collection of the same name.
The subtle lines of Herbariae were inspired by five flowers: the poppy, the narcissus, the lotus, the dahlia, and the thistle.
From contemporary to traditional, in different materials and with the most diverse decorations—of a purely aesthetic character or with more functional features—, Vista Alegre proposes a range of decorative items for an inspiring environment, full of creativity and refinement.
