ISABELLE DE BORCHGRAVE
BLUE IS THE NEW BLACK
For her Blue is the New Black tableware collection, the Brussels-based designer Isabelle de Borchgrave made moulds out of papier-mâché to ensure the uneven texture would be transferred to the porcelain plates, bowls, serving dishes, cups, and serving spoons. Aquamarine blue and black
patterns are painted onto the white surfaces like a kind of calligraphy. Thus, Isabelle’s Blue is the New Black tableware collection is reminiscent of the prestigious nineteenth- century Tournai porcelain.
