\nOur biggest design question was how to express Mr Gumpy's world through tableware. The animals and children in the stories have distinct personalities, yet naturally become friends.
\nTo capture those warm relationships, we chose memorable characters for the oval plates, creating pieces that feel like small scenes taken from the books.<\/p>\n
\nMr Gumpy appears on the cup and Round Plate S. Deep greens and warm sunlight evoke his generous, welcoming nature. Beyond the character himself, colours and landscapes convey his presence.
\nWe imagined the peaceful moment at the end of the story when everyone gathers for tea and treats. Tableware brings people together, conversation begins and smiles follow. We hope this collection can become a quiet part of those everyday moments.
\nAt teatime and at the dining table, Mr Gumpy's story continues.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
