Graphic, timeless, and full of maritime spirit, it evokes the great transoceanic routes between san francisco, australia, and new orleans.
this very set was used aboard a sailing boat, making it a truly authentic maritime piece. Designed for life at sea, it is lightweight, shock-resistant, and virtually unbreakable — the ideal combination of practicality and style for onboard living or outdoor dining.
produced in italy by mepal, known for durable and functional tableware, this set is made of high-quality melamine (or similar composite material), offering excellent resistance while maintaining a clean, refined aesthetic. The crisp white surface and deep blue motif create a striking contrast that works beautifully in coastal interiors or modern terraces.
perfect for a yacht, a beach house, or anyone who appreciates the elegance of nautical living without the fragility of traditional porcelain.
