DATUM is the first porcelain tableware series designed by Foster + Partners Industrial Design in collaboration with FÜRSTENBERG, Germany's second oldest porcelain manufacturer, founded in 1747.
The new range is a series of plates, cups, mugs and bowls that are dimensionally linked, creating an interchangeable and stackable family of modular tableware that provides exceptional functionality and flexibility. The design of DATUM follows a pure and controlled geometry, which is especially difficult to achieve in porcelain. The design of each piece factors in a number of complexities to maintain the form through the production process.
DATUM is available in white with a classic gloss glaze and a matt satin glaze on the external face. The interplay between gloss and matt white expresses the unique tactility, purity and reflectivity of the material. The range is also available in stone grey and slate black.
