British architect Norman Foster designs tableware for Stelton

With sculptural and geometric designs, the collection includes pieces such as a wine carafe, coffee cups, wine goblets, bowls and a tray. It uses porcelain, glass and stainless steel – the design brand's star material."From an understated, yet refined set of stainless steel tableware, featuring wine goblets, carafe, bowls, and tray for the evening, to a more informal range of porcelain and glass coffee cups, sugar bowl, thermos and water carafe, the objects are designed for a wide range of settings and purposes," explains Foster + Partners.
