TIME FOR TEA
Make afternoon tea super special with this elegant modular tea set that, when assembled, the mugs and teapot create a sculptural object
The Pharos tea set features two hand-crafted porcelain mugs and one modular teapot all hand finished with 24 carat gold accents that contrasts with the stark black and white.
The tea set is made by Vista Alegre, a world-renowned tableware manufacturer offering a full spectrum of pieces, from porcelain dinnerware and accessories to full-lead crystal decanters and a variety of giftware. Known for its strong connection to design and culture, as well as its tradition of working with world-renowned artists and designers such as Christian Lacroix Maison, Karim Rashid and Sam Baron, Vista Alegre offers a quality of excellence that appeals to a broad range of tastes.
Founded in 1824, Vista Alegre is one of the oldest porcelain workshops in Portugal and one of the most prestigious manufacturers in the whole of Europe. Innovative from its inception, the brand’s trademark is striking contemporary pattern and colour. From Art Deco-inspired metallic finishes to bright butterflies designed by Christian Lacroix, each piece demands to be the centre of attention.
The Pharos tea set, which was inspired by the lighthouses of the Portuguese coastal landscape, is not only a practical piece, but also a remarkable decorative element, carrying Vista Alegre’s unmistakable essence of elegant design.
The tea set can be found at Micucci Interiors, which offers an exclusive range of designer home accessories, lighting and fine art. Although Micucci tend to specialise in accessories, they do incorporate very special and unique pieces into their collections, resulting in an eclectic mix rather than a uniform style. Travelling around Europe and the rest of the world to source exciting new pieces, the Micucci team is constantly adding to the collection.
Micucci Interiors allows homeowners to add interesting pieces to interiors, teaming the elegant with the unusual. Choices are dictated by attractive shapes and colours as much as knowledge of design. Drawing inspiration from famous designers and artists from around the world, has resulted in a range of carefully curated pieces.
