Villeroy & Boch
With a history spanning over 275 years, Villeroy & Boch (est. 1748) is one of the world's most significant lifestyle brands. Headquartered in Mettlach, Germany, the company achieved global fame by merging the Boch and Villeroy families, creating a ceramic titan that defines modern European living.
1. Modern Heritage: The Mettlach Tiles
V&B is famous for its “Mettlach Tiles,” which paved the floors of iconic landmarks like the Titanic and Cologne Cathedral. This architectural strength translates into their exceptionally durable dinnerware.
2. Iconic Design: La Boule
One of their most famous designs is La Boule—a functional artwork that stacks together to form a perfect sphere, containing a full dinner set for two. It exemplifies the brand's ability to blend avant-garde design with everyday utility.
3. Material Innovation: Premium Porcelain
V&B developed Premium Porcelain, a material that combines the high-gloss look of bone china with the chip-resistant durability required for modern dishwashers and high-traffic hospitality environments.
