A key piece of information to remember is that coffee helped fuel the French Revolution. Like back then, coffee houses embody the motto: Liberté, égalité, fraternité.
The post-covid coffee shop is not only a way for us to connect but also a great leveller. So Oliver Bonas’ choice to release a French style coffee ceramic collection feels right not only as an aesthetic move but as a call for camaraderie in rough times.
But this is about the ceramics. If you’re here less for the hand-holding around the fire and more for the products, here’s what you need to know about the drop, available to shop online now.
About The Collection
Designed by the Oliver Bonas Home & Gift Team, the collection is meant to feel reminiscent of a morning spent in a Parisian café.
Taking inspiration from traditional boulangeries, expect cursive typography and the obvious colourway of red, blue and white. There are also prints, bistro-style woven bar stools and stained glass decor that feels true to the design of the city as a whole (with its Art Nouveau influences).
Top Pick For A Tight Budget
I won’t lie: some of the products feel a bit touristy and souvenir-like. However, I love the beurre (butter) dish, costing just £22.50.
The typography feels like what you’d see on vintage packaging; although simple, the details it almost feels like rococo interior architecture. A very tasteful piece that would suit any kitchen that needs subtle pops of colour.
