Children's table service

For children aged 1 - 5. This table service consists of three items: a cup, a bowl and a plate, all made in cast porcelain. The service has been designed on the basis of surveys of children’s eating habits and motor skills. Small children cannot handle cups by holding their handles. Thus, the cup in this set features an organic shape so that children can pick it up by using both hands. The plates are oval to minimise the distance between the child and the cup on the table.

Dorte Hybel

b. 1963, Danish Ceramic Designer

Hybel graduated from Danmarks Designskole in 1997, specializing in one-off work. Hybel finds inspiration for her functional ceramics in everyday life, where one shape often leads to another. At the moment she is preoccupied with organic shapes. She works in cast porcelain which she glazes and decorates in bright pastel colors. During her training at Danmarks Designskole she designed a classic set of children’s dinnerware made from cast porcelain, decorated by hand, and fired at 1280oC. New elements have since been added to the set. Hybel sells her work in Scandinavia, Germany, Holland, England, France, Italy and Spain as well as in the United States and Japan. The Norwegian Crown Prince and his wife are among her clients, as is the Danish Ministry of Culture. Hybel runs a joint workshop and shop – Keramikbutikken – with a colleague, at Blågårds Plads in Copenhagen. In Denmark she has been represented i.a. at Aalborg Kunstpavillion and at the Museum of International Ceramic Art in Middelfart. In 2001 she participated in the grandly conceived exhibition “Dansk Form – Design von Nachbarn,” in Hamburg.
