Spela Tableware: A Quiet Rhythm for Everyday Life

Spela began with an idea that potter and ceramic designer Shunsuke Kobayashi encountered on a visit to Helsinki in 2005.
Named after the Swedish word for playing music, Spela has been revived some two decades later.

The collection was conceived as a quiet connection between people and the wider world, with new relationships growing through everyday use.
That idea takes shape in bright white porcelain fired at high temperatures in Gifu, paired with a carefully developed ultramarine blue.

Thoughtful handwork makes even the small act of picking up a cup and returning it to the table feel considered.
For your own home, as a wedding gift, or to mark a milestone, these are pieces intended to be used and enjoyed for years.

Beautiful together, neatly arranged

The plates and bowls combine comfortable depth with a clean, distinctive outline.

A 14 cm plate for side dishes and cakes; a soufflé dish for breakfast fruit or a small dessert; a 16 cm bowl for an individual salad or stew; and a generous 21 cm bowl for a main dish.

Each balances curves with straight lines, giving familiar food a composed setting with little effort.

From breakfast to dinner, the pieces are easy to combine and reach for again: dependable tableware for everyday life.

Two cups for different moments

Tea & Coffee Collection

The deeper coffee cup sits comfortably in the hand, with a handle that is easy to hold and a shape that helps keep the drink warm. Its saucer leaves room for a small sweet, bringing a little order to a busy breakfast table.

The lower, wider teacup lets you appreciate the colour and aroma of tea. A round cup with a square saucer makes a gentle companion for an afternoon pause.

Choose to suit the time of day or your mood. These cups bring a little pleasure to a familiar daily drink.
