275 Years Creating Homes. Anniversary cups designed by members of the founding families

Special products for a special year: Villeroy & Boch is celebrating 275 years of history in 2023. The highlights of the anniversary year include four cups in exclusive designs by members of the founding families. Design expertise and creativity have been at the heart of the Villeroy & Boch brand right from the beginning – and these qualities have been passed down to the descendants of François Boch and Nicolas Villeroy. In 2023, four of them have put pencil to paper to add their own very personal note to the anniversary year.

Ophélie de Pimodan, from the eight generation of the Villeroy family, is a textile designer and lives in Paris. Her “Flora & Fauna” design features an imaginative poetic decor in captivating colours. It reminds us of how many decors from Villeroy & Boch’s history have been inspired by the great wealth of colours and shapes from the plant and animal kingdoms.

Carl-Angelo Kivu, a member of the tenth generation of the von Boch family, has a degree in Liberal Arts and contributes a bright and optimistic decor with “Memories”. The design portrays his characteristic illustrative, humorous style in an uplifting colour scheme.

Lucia de Quiqueran, also a member of the von Boch family, uses light but expressive strokes to sketch out values such as community, joy and belonging on the “Connection” cup.

The “(Tree) Trunk” cup by Michel Villeroy de Galhau, from the seventh generation, impresses with a dialogue of powerful blocks of colours and precise artwork. His design for the 275th anniversary conveys respectful appreciation of nature and mindful observation of the moment.
