Claudia Schiffer unveiled Gudrun

Drawing on her impeccable sense of style, supermodel Claudia Schiffer unveiled Gudrun – an elegant collection of dinnerware and ceramics created in collaboration with Vista Alegre and Bordallo Pinheiro.

The collections, which were unveiled at Maison et Objet in Paris in September, follow the success of the “Cloudy Butterflies” decorative and dinnerware ranges, Schiffer’s first collaboration with the brands.

The new seven-piece dinnerware range set for Vista Alegre, which references heritage porcelain craftsmanship and marks Schiffer’s debut porcelain collection, includes dinner plates, soup, and bread plates, as well as a teapot, teacups, and saucers with a fall-inspired motif of oak leaves, acorns, and squirrels reflecting Schiffer’s daily life in rural England.

For Bordallo Pinheiro, she designed hand-painted ceramics featuring woodland animals and birds, such as foxes and woodpeckers in a more playful, figurative style. Autumnal influences are also embraced, as the collection boasts a rich colour palette from forest green to tones of mustard, chestnut, and crimson, echoing the transformative beauty of the season. New additions range from acorn boxes, water jugs and platters to a seven-piece series of leaf wall hangings.

Commenting on the collections, Schiffer said:“Gudrun is the name of my latest porcelain collection with Vista Alegre and ceramic collection with Bordallo Pinheiro. It’s my late mother’s name and is dedicated to all my childhood memories connected to the countryside. Watching the squirrels from my bedroom window, collecting acorns, and drawing on them whilst my mother gathered the fall leaves. Listening to the woodpeckers and falling asleep to the bird songs. These memories inspired me to create these new collections. The drawings are very me and I’m so proud of the outcome.”

Gudrun will be available  starting in October at vistaalegre.com and bordallopinheiro.com
