Created as part of Fürstenberg's My China! collection, the dining set has an ornamental pattern that gives the tableware a ribbed textured surface.

The collection consists of 17 pieces that are available in three finishes including white, satin white, and white with a platinum band.
"Flowing transitions between the glaze and velvety-matte finish make this set a tactile experience," said Sieger Design. "You have to hold Stella in your hands to really appreciate the delicacy of the lines and the warmth of the silky matt finish."
The Stella tableware collection was designed by Sieger Design
The collection includes plates, bowls, cups and accessories that are intended to be used in homes and restaurants. Stella is handcrafted in Germany and is dishwasher safe.

Dezeen promotion: visitors to this year's Design Miami will be able to see themselves represented as an array of natural species in an interactive digital projection created by Austrian design studio Mischer'Traxler for French champagne house Perrier-Jouët.
Mischer'Traxler's installation called Embodied Nature features a shelving system that surrounds an open section of the wall, in which a silhouette of the viewer formed from various species is projected. The image reflects the visitor's movement, which is intended to immerse them in the installation.
The shelves include more than 100 artistic representations of species from all over the world, which are hand-made from delicate metal mesh.
The display is intended to reference the 'cabinet of curiosities' that aristocrats and scholars created to display collections of rare and exotic items from the 16th-century onwards.
Perrier-Jouët's ongoing exploration of the relationship between art and nature is informed by Art Nouveau
Every species in the installation is represented at the same scale, including microbes, bacteria, plants, flowers, animals and birds. The models are labelled to help visitors understand more about the relationships that exist between them.
Embodied Nature will be presented at the Design Miami art and design fair by Maison Perrier-Jouët as part of its commitment to redefine the relationship between humankind and nature.

"This emotional dimension is essential in our view," Mischer'Traxler said. "It is what captures the attention of the viewer, making them more receptive to the educational and philosophical message of the work."
"We are designers, not scientists," the studio added. "It is important therefore to remember that Embodied Nature is an artwork, the result of a creative interpretation. It gives us, for instance, the freedom to represent species alongside one another that would never be a part of the same ecosystem in the real world."

Perrier-Jouët regularly works with contemporary artists and designers to offer them an international platform for their creativity and has showcased the outcomes of these collaborations at Design Miami since 2012.
The French champagne house first collaborated with designers Katharina Mischer and Thomas Traxler in 2014 on a kinetic installation featuring plants that appeared to sprout as people walked away.

Perrier-Jouët's ongoing exploration of the relationship between art and nature is informed in particular by Art Nouveau, a style of architecture and design that emerged in the late 19th-century and was characterised by its references to nature.
Alongside the Embodied Nature installation, Perrier-Jouët will also present limited edition gift boxes designed by Mischer'Traxler for the Belle Epoque 2013 and Belle Epoque Rosé 2013 vintage cuvées.

The boxes feature watercolour paintings that portray aspects of the vineyard ecosystem and the relationships that exist between the various living organisms required to sustain it.

Dezeen Showroom:Italian wall and floor tile brand Ceramiche Keope has designed a tile collection informed by the veiny appearance of slate.
Named Ubik, the tiles come in eight sizes and five neutral colours called Greige, Ivory, Grey, Walnut and Anthracite.
Ubik tiles are informed by the appearance of slate
Ceramiche Keope describe the collection as a "slate-effect" series, and the tiles can be fitted in either indoor or outdoor settings, making them a versatile option for the home.
The tiles can be paved on walkways, courtyards, or even rooftops that are exposed to harsh weather conditions as well as in living rooms, bathrooms, or other interior spaces.
The tiles can be fitted indoors or outdoors
"Slate is normally used in outdoor settings," said the brand. "However, the ceramic range of different sizes of Ubik has been conceived for sophisticated interior design projects which exalt the expressive force of rough stone."

Located on a dyke in the village of Uitdam, the home is called House with a View and was designed for Roijé's own family as a space to "enjoy the landscape as much as possible".
House With a View is a lakeside home designed by Chris Collaris and Frederik Roijé
A large open living, kitchen and dining space sits on the first floor, beneath the exposed pinewood structure of a steeply-pitched roof. Its shape and black-coloured cladding were informed by the houses and barns typical to the Waterland municipality.
This pitched form intersects with a more contemporary rectangular form at its southern end, which extends the living area and creates a covered terrace space projecting outwards towards the lake.
The structure is clad in black-stained timber as a reference to traditional Waterland buildings
"[It is] a house that fits within the contours of the historic buildings, but with unique contemporary features," explained the designers.
"The structure of the house has partly remained visible in the interior... Due to the rectangular element in the house, the living space has areas with straight walls and ceilings...the space is high, and amorphous," they continued.
The roof shape is expressed on the interior of the building's upper level
This large living area is designed to create two different atmospheres at either end of the home. At the front is a more intimate seating area next to a wood-burning stove, with a window looking out at two garden spaces on either side of the street.
At the rear of the home, a more open space is organised around a large kitchen island, overlooking the lake through sliding glass doors.
The dining table sits between these two areas, positioned where the rectangular form intersects with the pitched volume, and is illuminated by a thin skylight.
A pine wood staircase passes a large square window as it leads down to the more private ground floor, where the home's three bedrooms and bathrooms are positioned.
The home was organised around views out to the water
The interiors have been finished using lamps, chairs and tables from Roijé's own collections. Black steel and mahogany window frames reference the exterior colour, and contrast the pale beams of the roof structure and concrete floor.
"To make the atypical typical was the greatest challenge of this house," said Collaris. "[Roijé] has been an inspiration to me for years with his product designs, which in my view are atypical typical as well. They are turning your mind on things you thought you already knew."
A large sheltered balcony projects from the rear of the building
Black timber was used previously by Chris Collaris Architects for its Tiny Holiday Home in a nature reserve near Amsterdam, designed in collaboration with i29 Interior Architects.
The studio has also built a black wooden cottage with an exaggerated roof in Amsterdam.
Kicking off our review of 2021, we round up 10 of the most striking and interesting houses featured on Dezeen this year, including a concrete villa in Indonesia and a mid-century Californian home given a new lease of life.
Encased in ceramic bricks, this house was designed to reflect the pottery heritage of Bat Trang village. Vo Trong Nghia Architects gave the building a perforated exterior wall to naturally cool and ventilate the interior spaces, with small, elevated gardens dotted throughout.
The home won urban house of the year 2021 at the Dezeen Awards, with judges praising its "radical look, the surprising elements and original use of material".
House Tokyo is squeezed onto a tiny plot of just 26 square metres in a densely populated district of the Japanese capital.
Unemori Architects used a stacked box design to help it make the most of the limited space available, with large windows of different orientations meaning the inside is light-filled throughout the day and ceiling heights reaching up to five metres.
Increasingly in 2021, architects have been speaking about the importance of reusing and upgrading existing buildings where possible. Moore House, on a hillside in Los Angeles, is an example of how that can be done to great effect.
The rectangular, single-storey house was built in 1965 but was renovated by local studio Woods + Dangaran, which installed new glazing in the walls and restored the existing wood structure and fascias.
Apart from its industrial aesthetic, what's unusual about this house in Eindhoven is the way it balances outdoor and indoor spaces.
Studioninedots arranged it as a patchwork of alternating courtyards and pavilions, with as much of the living area outside as inside – hence the name, Villa Fifty-Fifty.
This house, designed by Spanish architecture studio Marià Castelló on the Balearic Island of Formentera, is split into three white rectangular volumes.
Each volume contains one of the building's functions: one a sheltered porch, one for cooking, eating and relaxing, and one for sleeping.
The huge concrete roof on this house in the Indonesian city of Bandung is certainly eye-catching. Architecture studio Andramatin designed the house as a reinterpretation of Dutch colonial manor houses.
The overhanging roof is intended to protect the glass-walled main part of the home from heavy rainfall and shield it from direct sunlight.
Austrian studio Firm Architekten built this cuboid house out of materials sourced from within a 50 kilometre radius, including timber from the client's own private forest.
It stands atop a concrete base on a hillside in the Alps, meaning there are panoramic mountain views.
These villas, by Mexican architecture studio Revolution, sit on the Oaxaca coast facing the Pacific Ocean.
They are built from a combination of smooth, reinforced concrete and rough brick, designed to mimic their beachy surroundings and be weather resistant.
Impressed by the villas' balancing of both the radical and the simple, judges at the Dezeen Awards named the project rural house of the year 2021.
Xerolithi is based on the stone retaining walls which are a familiar feature in the Greek countryside, known as xerolithies.
"In a very subtle way, they reveal the presence of man in areas that otherwise seem untouched by civilisation. It only seemed fitting to experiment with this element and to see how it could create shape and space," said George Sinas, founder of Sinas Architects.
The idea was to build a house that merges seamlessly into the sloping topography, in contrast to the white boxes more commonly constructed on the Greek islands.
WT Architecture wanted this house, alongside Loch Tummel in the Scottish Highlands, to enhance its scenic surroundings rather than hide within them.
It emerges from a ruined walled garden, reportedly abandoned unfinished as the builders left to fight in the Jacobite uprising in 1745, to look out over the water.
