Creative accents for table settings – New drinking glass trends from Villeroy & Boch

It’s the details that make the difference – and this is particularly true for table settings. Along with crockery, drinking glasses play an important role. Glasses are much more than practical utensils. They add accents and make the table a space for creative expression reflecting a perfect blend of design and functionality. From elegant decor to unusual shapes or fascinating colours, Villeroy & Boch reveals which glasses are on trend in 2025.

Simple elegance for everyday luxury: Afina

Anyone who views minimalism as an attitude rather than a trend regards understatement as a design principle – and appreciates the elegance of fine decoration, such as that developed by the designer Christian Haas for the Afina tableware collection. These concentric rays of sunlight are also reflected in the new glasses in the series. While the porcelain items are decorated with a delicate relief, the lower section of the elegant crystal glasses is engraved using a precise pantography technique. The filigree linear matt decor feels pleasant to the touch and in combination with the brilliant glass creates interesting light refractions that produce optical effects on the table. With their sophisticated, puristic design, the timeless champagne, white wine and red wine glasses, as well as the water and highball glasses, create an atmosphere of understated elegance on the table – perfect for special occasions or everyday life.

A romantic look for the home: Rose Garden

In often fast-paced everyday life, it feels good to fill our homes with all the harmony and peace of a blossoming rose garden. With their fine linear texture, evoking images of flower leaves and buds, the glasses in the Rose Garden collection convey a relaxed romantic mood. Made from high-quality crystal glass, the long-stemmed wine and champagne glasses, the robust water and highball glasses with a decanter, and the new shallow champagne coupes make every table setting exceptional. They are perfect for any favourite drink and a great gift idea too. The versatile glasses combine stylish aesthetics with a dishwasher-safe composition that makes them ideal for everyday life.

Colour effects from subtle to opulent: Boston and like. by Villeroy & Boch

Colours are an expression of style and personality – not just in our wardrobes, but in the design of our homes and table settings too. Whether you choose an understated or a glamorous look depends entirely on personal taste – the new coloured glasses from Villeroy & Boch rise to every occasion.

The like. glass collection combines soft colours inspired by nature with simple, modern shapes – perfect to add colourful highlights on the table and a slightly mysterious note to drinks. The new linear decanter in Ice, Sage and Grape coordinates with all like. colours. In the new colour of Smoke, inspired by slate, the deep grey of the glasses contrasts strikingly with white tableware and is a neutral partner for more colourful like. glasses. Spanning a harmonious spectrum of hues from pink-purple to yellow, green and sky blue, the new colour of Pearl gives the glasses a beautiful shimmer, similar to a soap bubble, that will make them eye-catching features on your table.

The classic Boston glass series, with an all-over cut diamond look that adds sparkling colour accents, is also available in the new trend colour of Pearl and its iridescent effect makes the high-quality crystal glass look particularly striking. Pearl adds an almost magical radiance to the multiple light refractions created by the facet pattern.
