Coquet. Stripes in the Light of Summer Tables
Alessandro
Summer tables take on a new clarity when Limoges porcelain is dressed in stripes. With A Summer in Stripes, Coquet introduces graphic lines that bring colour directly to the table. The iconic Hémisphère white porcelain collection becomes the base for a series of bayadère patterns that structure the surface while preserving the presence of the material itself.
The brightness of the porcelain remains central. Known for its exceptional whiteness, Limoges porcelain has long been recognised as one of the whitest, most translucent and delicate porcelains in the world. This clarity allows the colours to appear with precision while maintaining the quiet refinement associated with white porcelain.
The collection introduces a vivid palette composed of royal blue, vanilla, metallic pink, metallic purple and Persian blue. Each tone moves across the porcelain in striped bayadère patterns, creating a graphic rhythm that brings colour and lightness to the table. The lines frame the surface while remaining part of the natural balance between decoration and material.
Placed on the table, these striped pieces organise the setting with clarity. The lines create a visual structure that brightens the table and accompanies shared moments with a discreet sense of elegance. Colour becomes part of the composition while the whiteness of the porcelain continues to define the collection.
Behind each piece is a process shaped by material and expertise. Coquet porcelain results from the meeting of water, earth and human knowledge. Producing a single piece can require nearly twenty steps, where advanced techniques and skilled craftsmanship work together to achieve the precision required for Limoges porcelain.
Decoration is applied with the same attention. A unique engraving technique allows gold, platinum and other precious metal inlays to highlight the patterns while ensuring their permanence over time. These elements reinforce the lines and bring subtle depth to the porcelain surface.
In this reinterpretation of the Hémisphère collection, colour, craftsmanship and porcelain remain closely connected. The striped patterns introduce brightness and graphic order while preserving the qualities that define Coquet Limoges porcelain
