La petite Boule – The aperitif highlight
Deeply rooted in Villeroy & Boch’s DNA and a real icon right from its launch: La Boule is thrilling design lovers today, as did Helen von Boch’s “Sphere” in the 1970s. Another porcelain sphere is now joining Villeroy & Boch’s iconic product series: just like La Boule, La petite Boule impresses with a combination of design and functionality that will make any aperitif moment a real experience.
Pre-dinner drinks, aperitifs, tapas: a worldwide trend
Olives, nuts and little nibbles, together with a drink of your choice and good company: the aperitif represents a little moment of relaxation and enjoyment, or marks the start of a special evening. Which makes the setting even more important. La Petite Boule will transform the aperitif moment into an experience. The little porcelain sphere is composed of four small bowls and one plate which are ideal for serving finger food but can also be easily assembled back into a stylish sphere. This makes La petite Boule perfect to set the scene for an elegant aperitif. As a decorative design object on the sideboard or table, it will be the centre of attention, its fascinating story is a charming conversation starter at any time and its little bowls in different sizes offer unsurpassed functionality.
A little counterpart
With La petite Boule, Villeroy & Boch is once again proving its ceramic expertise. The five-piece set, made in Germany from Premium Porcelain, is the mini version of the popular La Boule and impresses with shiny surfaces or coloured-through trendy matt shades. The four deep and shallow bowls and the little plate inspire with their design as individual items as well as in combination as an assembled sphere. All the mini-versions of La Boule make perfect gifts. From birthdays to housewarmings, a gift for a host or for Christmas – the mini version of the porcelain sphere will appeal to more than passionate La Boule fans.
Excellence
La petite Boule is available in four decors: in matt black, shiny white, contrasting black & white and the colourful Memphis version. Like its larger counterpart, La petite Boule won the prestigious Red Dot Award in the category “Product design” and is now on display for one year in the exhibition “Design on stage” at the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen, Germany.
