British Standard Espresso Cup, Brilliant Green

$20.00

David Mellor has reimagined one of the world's first colour systems,  British Standard colours.  With their wonderfully evocative period colour names, Mellosr designed a contemporary collection of fine bone china mugs and espresso cups. Founded in 1931, the British Colour Council standardized colours for design and industry throughout the United Kingdom. Still in use today, each British Standard colour has its own colour name and number. 

While modern trends and new colour systems such as Pantone (created in 1963) are widely used, British Standard Colours remain relevant in certain sectors where consistency and compliance with standards are important.

Having been commissioned both by 10 Downing Street and Queen Elizabeth II, the industrial designer's work spans decades and has a permanent home in London's Design Museum. David Mellor died in 2009, yet his work is carried on by his son Corin, who continues to produce timeless, quality pieces for the brand.
