A Tea-time Ritual: Orbit tray and handcrafted Mid-Century Style Mugs

Every day deserves a moment of pause—a chance to let the tension go and re-energise. Our Mid-Century Style Mugs and dynamic OpArt inspired board are designed to enhance that moment, shifting that ordinary cup of coffee or tea into a ritual of beauty and intention.

Inspired by the clean lines and bold simplicity of mid-century design, these striking black mugs are crafted from fine porcelain, with a hand-painted stripe that subtly wraps around the curved surface, a nod to the era's effortless elegance. Each handle is shaped for comfort, its smooth edges inviting you to linger longer.

The Orbit Collection board/tray is made in the UK using sustainably sourced eucalyptus hardboard with melamine on both sides and small bumper feet, making it easy to pick up. The monochrome design, akin to a bulls-eye, is exuberant and bold and coordinates beautifully with the play of black and white in the mugs and coordinating small jug.

The set includes:

2 black porcelain mugs
a small black porcelain jug
a melamine board/tray
