Tea for tots: Simple, whimsical tableware by Gien
The images adorning Gien’s new tableware set, Le Secret, are both simple and whimsical – foxes nuzzling in a bush of blue flowers, a bird chirping into a deer’s ear, a bat clinging upside-down to a vine. While these would not seem out of place in a colouring book, they are a pleasant surprise on a plate or mug. Designed by Emilie Vast, the renowned author and illustrator, and based on her book of the same name, the collection is said to be perfect for both children and imaginative adults. Items available include a variety of plates, a cake platter, serving trays, bowls, mugs, paper napkins and a child’s tableware set.
