THE ultimate in luxury is most probably your own signature set of dinnerware, personalised to your specifications, whether they be your favourite colours or a design featuring your family crest. Leading studio, Mervyn Gers Ceramics, has announced it has added this bespoke design service to its repertoire for discerning interior design enthusiasts and trendsetters.
Says Mervyn Gers, owner and creator of the brand: “Individualism has become more accentuated during the past two years, as has the use of colour to lift our moods and increase our dopamine levels. We’ve seen people expressing themselves more in the way they live, dress and decorate their homes. There has also been a move towards nature and the colour green. Studies have found that even a green view from your window during the pandemic was linked to reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety. Another trend is vegetable gardens in home spaces as they offer recreational, health, economic and environmental benefits. We want to be part of this movement of self-expression!”
Gers adds that the service includes a 90-minute consultation to discuss requirements. “We offer a service whereby a member of our team will spend time with the client to decide on their range of dinnerware. Personalised dinnerware of a specific design featuring family crests, names or facts of historical value, will include a product development fee.”
All products are fully functional for daily use, food safe as well as dishwasher and microwave safe. As with all truly handmade ceramics, slight variations in colour and size may occur, which adds an interesting dimension to the glazes.
