FÄRGKLAR Cup with saucer, matt light turquoise, 25 cl

Ceramic is a heat-resistant and durable material that has been used by humans to make practical objects for thousands of years. The base material is different types of clay that are oven-burned and become things like terracotta, stoneware, pottery and porcelain. At IKEA we mainly use ceramic for plant pots, porcelain, washbasins and kitchen sinks. Since it can be shaped and even glazed to the desired colour and shine, the possibilities of styles and looks are endless.

“I think tableware should make food the centrepiece – highlighting what you cook and serve. FÄRGKLAR is inspired by food cultures around the world and works with everything from rice dishes and pastas to tacos and sushi. A bit like the kitchen’s chameleon with shapes and colours that match each other and what you already have at home. Hopefully you’ll feel that the tableware is warm, practical, soft and pleasant – much like your favourite sweater that always feels right."
