Familia - back to basics

Familia is a dinner service created for get-togethers, parties and everyday culinary pleasures. A modern twist on traditional china, each piece is born from a vision to return to the true form and create a design for a new era in which simplicity is anything but boring.

Take a close look at the Familia plate and you will discover that it has the same simple yet functional 'design language' as the plates created 4000 years ago. It is Ole Jensen´s vision to return to the starting point and create a new design. Familia is tradition from history, launched in a new era. 

The round shapes of the handles and the simple design of the plates is the result of a long product development process where all unnecessary details have been removed.

Today we can more or less buy and design our ideal lifestyle according to our dreams. Conceptions like individuality, single culture and striving to be different are all conspicuous values in the western world. Also in the world of design. I have designed Familia, for get-togethers and parties - the long table and the great feast. Familia should challenge the conception of the very ideal of the perfect lifestyle. To me Familia expresses a kind of energy, warmth and recognition - values which I believe are also worth striving for.
