Group Copy 5 Learn more ## Work - [Symons for The White Company](https://studiolevien.com/work/the-white-company/): We were thrilled to be asked to design a tableware range for The White Company and truly delighted when Bone China was selected. - [Space for Ideal Standard](https://studiolevien.com/work/space/): Chances to reinvent products don't come very often, this was one of them. - [Armadillo for Ulster Ceramics](https://studiolevien.com/work/armadillo/): The exterior ribbing is in a matt glaze, the interiors shiny for easy cleaning.  We couldn't resist Armadillo for the name, an endearing and tough creature. - [Cook, Serve, Enjoy for Ulster Ceramics](https://studiolevien.com/work/cook-serve-enjoy/): A "cross over" range between the kitchen and the table in a range of colours.  It made a big impact when launched in 2001 and started a trend for more colourful stoneware. - [Thomas Trend for Rosenthal](https://studiolevien.com/work/thomas-trend/): Launched in 1983 Trend went on to become the best selling contemporary tableware range in Europe.  The integral decoration of fine lines are born from a deep understanding of porcelain and are the key ingredient in making Trend so successful. - [Ora Entertaining for Sango](https://studiolevien.com/work/ora-entertaining/): Our first foray into canapés - [Bakeware for Sango](https://studiolevien.com/work/bakeware/): Also at Sango - [Pop for Nambé](https://studiolevien.com/work/pop/): A riot of colour in a silky smooth glaze.  It’s the white edge on the plates that sets Pop apart.  We still can’t work out how the factory did that! - [Skye for Nambé](https://studiolevien.com/work/skye/): Our challenge was to design a “stand out” white bone china range in a crowded market. - [Origin for Nambé](https://studiolevien.com/work/origin/): Full of opposites and contradictions, Origin is playfully serious.  We enjoy the creative freedom when designing for Nambé. - [Jason Atherton Social for John Lewis](https://studiolevien.com/work/jason-atherton-social/): Inspired by Michelin starred chef Jason Atherton's restaurants and bars, the social range brings his relaxed style of drinking and dining to our homes. - [Propeller for Herdmar](https://studiolevien.com/work/propeller/): Inspired by propellers, which like many objects designed primarily for functionality are also beautiful. - [Studio for Ideal Standard](https://studiolevien.com/work/studio/): The brief made it clear that this wasn't going to be a "design" story but 4 years later when it was launched it was the front cover story in Design Magazine. - [Edesia for Dansk](https://studiolevien.com/work/edesia/): Following in the footsteps of the great Scandinavian designer Jens Quistgaard, it is the hand cut relief texture on the glasses that sets Edesia apart. - [Saturno for Costa Verde](https://studiolevien.com/work/saturno/): A paired down simplicity with low profiles and fine edges. - [Nordika for Costa Verde](https://studiolevien.com/work/nordika/): Our brief was for a design that the Scandinavians would buy. - [Voronoi Bowl for Costa Verde](https://studiolevien.com/work/voronoi-bowl/): A collaboration between two Royal Designers, Robin Levien RDI and Tristam Carfrae RDI of ARUP and porcelain manufacturer Costa Verde.  The holes are in a Voronoi pattern that is found on the wings of a dragonfly, which have to be light and strong.   - [Ipalyss for Ideal Standard](https://studiolevien.com/work/ipalyss/): Also at Ideal Standard - [Isola for Costa Verde](https://studiolevien.com/work/isola/): Also at Costa Verde - [Borda for Borralheira](https://studiolevien.com/work/borda/): We took the firing temperature up to 1140 degrees celsius which darkens the colour and makes an almost non-porous stoneware, we christened it TerraStone.  Borda is Portuguese for "edge". - [Chanterelle for John Lewis](https://studiolevien.com/work/chanterelle/): We worked very closely with Raymond Blanc and have great memories of visits to the wonderful Le Manoir Aux Quat'Saisons near Oxford. - [Concept for Ideal Standard](https://studiolevien.com/work/concept/): With over 100 items, this is the largest range that Ideal Standard have ever launched.  Restrained, easy to live with shapes, solutions for small bathrooms and a water saving bath.  We were thrilled when the range was chosen for the athlete's village at the London 2012 Olympics. - [Home Elements for Villeroy & Boch](https://studiolevien.com/work/home-elements-for-villeroy-boch/): A dream project for Studio Levien.  The brief called for a "collection" rather than a "range".  Free from the styling restrictions of a range, each item is designed on it's own merits, some more modern, others more traditional, each item connected to its past but very much of today - [Ferris Wheel for Patra](https://studiolevien.com/work/ferris-wheel-for-patra/): Ferris Wheel brings the joy and excitement of the fun fair to the table.  Eating good food is an experience to enjoy wherever we are in the world. - [Hand Painted Stoneware for Bluebellgray](https://studiolevien.com/work/hand-painted-stoneware/): Simple, strong shapes are the perfect canvas for Fi Douglas' beautiful watercolour florals. - [Beachcomber for Australian Fine China](https://studiolevien.com/work/beachcomber/): Inspired by Pipi Shells, found on many of Australia's beaches. - [Cache Pots for Almas](https://studiolevien.com/work/cache-pots-almas/): We have been creating new collections for Ricardo at Almas for many years.  The pots have to be round but we have lots of fun with the profiles, surfaces, colours and promotional material. - [Feeling for Guzzini](https://studiolevien.com/work/feeling/): Having started by producing products from ox horn, Fratelli Guizzini have craft at their core.  Combining acrylic with porcelain requires a deep understanding of both materials.  These highly innovative designs made a big impact on the market. - [Topia for Patra](https://studiolevien.com/work/topia/): Topia is latin for "landscape" our inspiration for the design.  The soft profiles capture the rolling countryside and the relief pattern, the crops we grow there. - [Ora for Sango](https://studiolevien.com/work/ora/): Ora is the Latin for beach, who doesn’t love a sea-washed pebble?  Launched at Ambiente in 2019 to great acclaim, some said it stole the show. - [East for Bonna](https://studiolevien.com/work/bonna/): Also at Bonna - [Joyn for Arzberg](https://studiolevien.com/work/joyn/): Arzberg are pioneers of modern design and have always been an inspiration to us at Studio Levien. - [New Cottage for Villeroy & Boch](https://studiolevien.com/work/new-cottage-for-villeroy-boch/): A full dinnerware range with sculptural organic serving pieces. - [Anyday for John Lewis](https://studiolevien.com/work/anyday/): Having designed the first House Tableware for John Lewis back in 2011 we were delighted to be asked to update the idea with a new design. Good looking, practical, affordable and easy to live with every day, it ticks all our boxes. - [Viva for Sango](https://studiolevien.com/work/viva-for-sango/): There are about 17,000 care homes in the UK with 410,000 residents, 70% of them have cognitive impairments such as dementia. It is important that this group is able to live to their full potential and Sango Viva helps to achieve independence when it comes to eating and drinking. Most 'assistive tableware' is ugly, stigmatising and expensive, Sango Viva proposes a game-changing alternative. - [Streat for Sango](https://studiolevien.com/work/streat-for-sango/): For street food from all corners of the globe, the ephemeral becomes permanent. - [Joyn Stoneware for Arzberg](https://studiolevien.com/work/joyn-stoneware/): A short range of stoneware in beautiful tactile glazes to extend Joyn Porcelain - [Bravura for RAK](https://studiolevien.com/work/bravura/): It was a bold and ambitious project for RAK to enter the Bone China market.
