Beautiful things for beautiful homes
The Ottoline Collection
A collaboration between PORTA and decorative artist Tess Newall, born from the shared belief that the most meaningful art is the kind you live with.
Art should enrich the routines of everyday life
That was a conviction held by the Bloomsbury Group — the circle of painters, writers, and thinkers who gathered at Charleston Farmhouse in East Sussex a century ago — and it's the spirit that runs through The Ottoline Collection, PORTA's debut dinnerware collaboration with British decorative artist Tess Newall.
Complimentary Combinations
Hand-painted in Portugal, the collection comprises multi-use plates and bowls in two colorways, Azure and Terracotta. The two palettes are designed to be mixed, matched, and layered across the table — however you lay it, the effect is joyful and unabashedly alive.
It all started with a brushstroke
"If a plate on a table makes lunch more joyful, it has done its work." This is the delicious lens through which Tess Newall sees the world.
