Villeroy & Boch AG is reacting to the increasing COVID 19 pandemic and the official measures taken in its course.
Villeroy & Boch AG is postponing the Annual General Meeting, previously scheduled for 27 March 2020 in Merzig. This has just been decided by the company's management board.
Colour in the kitchen has been an important focus for Villeroy & Boch for many years. Because it’s not just furniture and the design of the floor and walls that determine the atmosphere in a kitchen, the sink area makes an important contribution too. As well ceramic sinks in various colours, Villeroy & Boch also offers a diverse selection of kitchen tap fittings.
Rich in facets, mystical, brilliant - the moon has fascinated humans for thousands of years. Inspired by this impressive radiance, Villeroy & Boch designed NewMoon. The clearly pure and simultaneously eye-catching design is defined through an asymmetrical crescent moon shape.
High-quality objects made from natural materials with striking surfaces shaped by elaborate craftsmanship are extremely popular in current interior design trends. Villeroy & Boch recognised this strong international trend two years ago and embraced it in its extensive Manufacture Rock tableware collection. Thanks to its overwhelming success, more products will be joining the range in 2020.
Trillions of stars produce bright spots, typical constellations and ever-changing colour gradients and shades in the dark night sky. Symbols of the moon, stars and astrology whisk us away to faraway galaxies and are currently en vogue. They can be found in the world of fashion, jewellery and interior design, and even award-winning restaurants have been influenced by this mystical world.
Villeroy & Boch’s series of Collier vases, selected for the Red Dot Award 2018 and German Design Award 2020, combines craftsmanship with the world of jewellery: fine textured décors on matt Premium Porcelain turn sleek black and white vases into trendy gems for every home. Villeroy & Boch has transferred this successful design concept to new products and a new colour for 2020.
Whiskey and Scotland are inseparable. With this in mind, Villeroy & Boch has designed the Ardmore Club glass series, including two different glasses and a carafe, after the famous Scottish whiskey region. The matching carafe is new and can be used for whiskey or other spirits. Filled with personality and made for lovers of fine whiskey or other spirits, such as gin.
From a balanced breakfast to a relaxed coffee and cake with family or friends, the simple and timeless design of the For Me collection lends itself ideally to everyday life and any occasion. The pure white basic items in the collection are universal highlights that can be easily combined with every Villeroy & Boch tableware collection in harmoniously coordinated table settings.
High-quality crystal glass with an eye-catching facet pattern - the Boston series has been among the absolute favorites of the Villeroy & Boch glass product range for years. The sturdy bar glasses and bowls have a full-surface rhombus look that sparkles irresistibly and adds charm to any table setting, whether in clear glass or one of the five colors: red, blue, green, rose or smoke.
It all began with a great love. A love for exquisite porcelain, artistic design and a sophisticated lifestyle. In 1836, Nicolas Villeroy and Jean-François Boch signed a contract committing to work together to produce the highest quality porcelain in the world: Premium Bone Porcelain
