Why not impress your friends and serve that takeaway pizza on a piece of Berlin art?

Designers Karen Olze (born 1974) & Gisa Wilkens (born 1970) got their diploma together at the University of the Arts Berlin (UdK) in October 2003. Since then, they have designed numerous interesting products for various companies. One of them is this set of animal inspired pizza boards designed in 2013 for Pension Für Produkte. The price is €29,90.

“Large pizza boards with a diameter of 32 centimeters show scenes from the wilderness: a goat having a little snack at sunset, elephants crossing the desert or a bear standing in the water ready to catch a fish.”

Eating takeaway doesn’t mean you can’t serve the food on cool tableware

Eating takeway is convenient and fast and usually mean that you don’t have to do a lot of dishes.

But you can improve the takeaway experience by serving it on porcelain plates with cool cutlery.

In a new blog series, we present tableware featuring both classic design and new, young designers.

Bjarke Ingels‘ architecture studio BIG has decorated a set of porcelain tableware with outlines of city skylines from around the world.

BIG collaborated with Danish designers Kilo to add patterns to the TAC tableware set – created in the 1960s and based on a design by architect Walter Gropius and his Boston firm The Architects Collaborative.

“Throughout time people have decorated porcelain with motives from nature and landscapes,” said a statement from BIG. “Architects have planned and designed our cities for centuries and are well known for creating elegant and functional products.”

Twelve city skylines including Copenhagen, London, Berlin, Paris and New York City circle the white BIG Cities tableware pieces. Each incorporates iconic buildings like the Brandenburg Gate, Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower, which are exaggerated to make them easier to distinguish.

The tableware is produced by German porcelain brand Rosenthal.
