claudia schiffer presents cloudy butterflies ceramics collection for bordallo pinheiro

at maison&objet, portuguese tableware company bordallo pinheiro presented its latest collection in collaboration with fashion icon, claudia schiffer. dubbed cloudy butterflies, the collection is a combination of schiffer’s love for the rhine countryside with the distinctive style of the brand, resulting in delightful and delicate ceramic pieces.

claudia schiffer’s collaboration with bordallo pinheiro takes inspiration from nature and the butterflies that surrounded her growing up in the countryside near the rhine. the collaboration draws from schiffer’s referencing detailed designs, in the style of bordallo pinheiro. combining her personal vision with decorative naturalism, while pursuing the functional purpose, claudia schiffer has created a series of pieces that stand out for their artistic hand-painting, whose character tends towards the abstract.

for the past 30 years, claudia schiffer has been collaborating with different brands around the world. passionate about art and design, schiffer has demonstrated her acute sense for the arts with the interiors of her british homes, published in specialized magazines.  ‘I have been collecting bordallo pinheiro ceramics for years,’ comments claudia schiffer. ‘I am delighted to collaborate with their teams and contribute my ideas. I can’t wait to see the pieces from the collection in my home.’
