Rörstrand FORMA Series Eternal Beauty




Good design is eternal and Rörstrand of Sweden has several timeless designs. In my opinion, Rörstränd series FORMA is definitely one of them. The series designed by Olle Alberius in the 1960's is beautiful with clean minimalist lines in off-white shade of stoneware decorated with delicate texture which look like fish scales and has strong geometrical accents. The creamer is decorated with a simple horizontal brown line and the teapot brown lid makes a bolder accent. 

When I found those I had three pieces to choose from: two teapot and a creamer. After careful observation I decided to take only two and the largest teapot had a small damage (chip) on the lid. It is so heartbreaking to leave such a unique piece behind but I left the larger teapot behind. I am glad I got to keep these two pieces and list them in our shop. 

These two are in very good vintage condition without any stains on the inside. No chips, no cracks and no hairlines.  The creamer can hold circa 150ml and is 8cm high, bottom diameter of 6,5cm. Weight unpackaged is 170g. The small teapot (there is a larger teapot in this series) weights 555g and is 10 high with a bottom diameter of 11cm. 


These pieces are available at our Etsy shop and you can go check them by clicking the links to: Creamer and teapot

Oslo Design Fair Spring Summer 2018

   

Some pictures I took during my visit of Oslo Design Fair last month. The 2018 Spring Summer collection shown there was filled with beautiful colorful pieces and I simply loved a lot of what I saw. Loads of brass items and other yellow painted metals as statement pieces. Lots of bold and warming colors like old pink, browns, yellows, old blues and greens, dark glass lights and many, many shades of grey. All these pictures, no matter how bad some of them may look, has at least one little detail that I loved or liked... 

So many of the pieces in exhibition were clearly inspired by mid century modern vintage design and will be filling up the shelves of shops near your soon... I still recommend you buy the original design for a fraction of the price of the new ones but with double originality...

Enjoy the pictures.
