The Stoneware beaker, which comes in light grey and light earth, reveals the Nordic/medieval inspiration of the range and is highly versatile, suitable for use as both wine glass and cup for hot and cold drinks.
A seemingly random collection of objects, the table service comprises a number of items including a tray, a board, a carafe, plates, bowls, beakers, and cups.

The name “Tonale” refers to Giorgio Morandi’s use of colour tonality imbueing his daily objects with a sense of individuality. The objects are produced in a variety of materials including enamelled steel, glass, earthenware, and wood. While striving for expressive purity, the range honours today’s requirements for durability and versatility." -- David Chipperfield
