Villeroy & Boch Althea Nova
Bring a touch of nature to casual dining with Althea Nova dinnerware. Villeroy & Boch plants durable porcelain with beautifully detailed botanicals and herbs for a look that's fresh from the garden. Soft watercolor accents add to the overall airy effect with grass-green banding. In an urban society, nature has become a symbol for slowing down and finding harmony, offering a refuge, a source of strength and health. As part of this trend, healing herbs and kitchen spices are experiencing a renaissance. Bathing in beneficial botanical essences, using cosmetics with flower extracts and even eating foods seasoned with aromatic garden herbs is now seen as steps to foster the well-being of both body and soul in very special ways. Inspired by today's sensitivity to nature, Althea Nova was created, embodying the highest quality and furnishing an emotional design that works on several levels, appearing both fresh and contemporary all at once.
The traditional country shape of the octave has been rediscovered for Althea Nova. An octave is both simple and generous in its size, thus forming the ideal base for wide-surface design applications. The central motifs of Althea Nova are herbs like cilantro, sage and lovage, rendered as botanical drawings. The design comes in two different interpretations of the herbal theme: one with the herbs finely drawn and shadowed, and one depicting detailed close-ups of the herbs. The drawn with back-shadowing are full-surface motifs with watercolor shadowing, and painted in a manner that matches the colors of their blossoms and generates uncommon depth. The close-ups of the herbs are kept in more powerful shades that make them appear as if observed through a magnifying glass. The combination of the two design interpretations creates captivating changes in perspective. Microwave and dishwasher safe.
