Isn't it just great when purposeful home products are also chic and stylish? I, for one, am enchanted by decor that does its job and isn't an eyesore. So when I came across this stylish modular dinner set from Saks, I instantly needed to know more. At first glance, it's just a decorative sphere. Very nice, yes, but that's not all. Would you believe me if I told you it's also a set of seven serving plates and bowls stacked together and disguised to form a sphere? Yes, I know, right.
Initially created by German designer Helen von Boch for ceramic manufacturer Villeroy & Boch in the 1970s, this design, known as 'La Boule', reimagines dinnerware as eye-catching statement decor that is perfectly crafted to stack together after use. It's the table-setting version of modular design; the Russian tea dolls of dinnerware. When it comes to the best dinnerware sets, I just don't think you can do better.
