Bathers at Asnières by Georges Seurat
Made from fine bone china, these mini mugs are masterpieces – Literally! Using paintings from The National Gallery’s collection, Whitbread Wilkinson have married traditional art with functional design and, thankfully, the honeymoon period continues. The mugs also feature a coloured stripe inspired by a detail of the painting.
The first of his large-scale compositions, Georges Seurat combined use of live models and on-site sketching to create the composition and light effects of the painting. In its depiction of labourers relaxing, this mini mug will be a constant reminder of the need to take a break! Lord knows you need a few of those…
You don't need to live in a manor house or eat caviar to own one of these mini masterpieces. In collaboration with the National Gallery, Whitbread Wilkinson have created a range of notebooks, mugs, stationery and picnicware, depicting a selection of famous artworks. Whether its Van Gogh's Sunflowers that floats your boat, or Caneletto's Venice that rocks your world these classic yet contemporary products will definitely add an arty touch to any living space.
