In this issue we feature our cover star Vista Alegre’s new collection with supermodel and business woman Claudia Schiffer. The stunning collaboration between Vista Alegre and sister company Bordallo Pinheiro follows on from the successful Cloudy Butterflies, and marks Schiffer’s first foray into porcelain. Gudrun – named after the model’s late mother – will be available in stores worldwide from October.
Following the success of the Cloudy Butterflies decorative and dinnerware ranges, this new design collection from Schiffer is only the second time the two storied brands have launched a product range together. Turn to page 38 to learn more about the gorgeous new series.
