Breakfast is essential for a good start to the day, whether it's tea or coffee, sweet or savoury, a full English or continental.

Gold has always been a popular investment – not only for investors, but also for interi-or designers and trend experts. Gold bathes the home in a special light with its warm and fine shimmer.

An innovative tableware concept, a milestone in design history and part of the Villeroy & Boch DNA. Since its launch in 1971, designer Helen von Boch's “Globe” has been an impressive concept, a surprising design that was well ahead of its time.
