Iconic La Boule 7-Piece Dinner Set
About the original
The Villeroy & Boch La Boule is a seven-piece porcelain dinner service (two dinner plates, two soup bowls, two flat bowls, and a serving platter) that nests into a single 21-centimeter sphere when stacked. It was designed by Helene von Boch in 1971, withdrawn for decades, and reissued in 2020. The original is held in the permanent collections of MoMA in New York and the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Villeroy & Boch has produced porcelain in Mettlach, Germany, since 1748, making it one of Europe's oldest continuously operating ceramics manufacturers. The set is dishwasher and microwave safe and retails around $400 in standard white.
About Villeroy & Boch
Villeroy & Boch is a German ceramics manufacturer formed in 1836 when the pottery founded by François Boch in 1748 in Audun-le-Tiche merged with Nicolas Villeroy's faience works in Wallerfangen. The company is headquartered in Mettlach, Saarland, on the grounds of a former Benedictine abbey the Boch family bought in 1809 and converted into kilns by 1812. Villeroy & Boch produces tableware, crystal, sanitaryware, and tiles, and is best known for the Mettlach steins and Chromolith etched-relief stoneware that defined late 19th-century German ceramics. The company is publicly traded on the Frankfurt exchange. Supreme collaborated with Villeroy & Boch on a porcelain dinnerware set.
