Gulp Features
I’ve just returned from the annual biggest-and-best-in-the-world trade fair, Ambiente, in Frankfurt.
Three days of heaven!
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be featuring a series of products that literally stopped me in my tracks as I buzzed about trying to bag as much of the magic as I could muster within my timescales. To rave about product with a name like ‘TOUCH!’ on a website is, I accept, a bit ambitious since, as the name implies, the real beauty and wow factor of this range of porcelain by KAHLA is all about…you’ve guessed....touch!
What makes ‘TOUCH!’ so very special is its magnificently sensual velvety-soft 3-D surface coating. It is addictive to hold…you just don’t want to put it down.
However, leaving aside the sheer pleasure of holding and feeling ‘TOUCH!’ porcelain, there are numerous other pleasures which can be appreciated.
Colour.
The ‘TOUCH!’ range of crockey comes in twelve bold shining colours : red, orange, black, pink, blue, yellow, coral, dark blue and dark green, violet, brown and turquoise.
Functionality.
‘TOUCH!’ tableware meets demands of a modern household: it has successfully passed extensive testing and is both dishwasher safe and microwave resistant. Award winning.
The ‘TOUCH!’ range has received several international design awards which acknowledge its special status as a world-first. The awards include the reddot, Design plus, iF and the coveted Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum.
What’s not to love?
