Designer Matteo Thun (1952) brings constantly new and fresh ideas to porcelain. His Tea for One service alludes to his postmodern inspiration (Mickey Mouse) and to his teapot design from 1982. Thun was a founding member of the Memphis Group in 1981, a design movement that shaped opinions about design in the 1980s and beyond.
