About the Item

Middle Eastern Design Doobide Coffee Jug & Cups Hand Painted Porcelain There’s a theory that the introduction of coffee to Europe from the Arab world was the catalyst for the Enlightenment back in the 1700s. Alfredo Häblerli’s design for a commemorative coffee set for Dubai’s 2021 World Exhibition was inspired by its deep cultural roots. Now it has been adapted to commemorate BD Barcelona’s 50th anniversary. Doobide Collection is inspired in emirates’ society coffee tradition and has been designed to celebrate BD 50th anniversary. The collection consists of a limited edition of 50 numbered crockery sets. It is available in five different colour ranges and 5 graphics: green, beige, flesh, grey, and blue. Each range contains a teapot / coffee Jug and 6 tea / coffee cups (3 different models). The pieces are made out of dyed porcelain and painted by hand in platinium. Designer Alfredo Häberli (Buenos Aires, 1964) was born in Argentina to Swiss parents. His family background was in the restaurant business which would later help inform some of Alfredo’s design commissions. The family moved back to Switzerland in 1977 where he graduated as an industrial designer from the Höhere Schule für Gestaltung, Zúrich in 1991. Subsequently he founded his own design studio there, Alfredo Haberli Design Development. Success followed quickly with numerous awards for different pieces in collaboration with renowned brands including MW, Camper, Driade, Edra, FSB, Georg Jensen, Iittala, Kvadrat, Luceplan, Vitra and Zanotta as well as BD Barcelona Design, of course. His designs feature a dynamic character combined with precise functionality, always with a marked graphic quality. A retrospective of his work was held at Zurich’s Museum für Gestaltung, in 2008 under the title “Surround Things”, while in 2014 he received the Swiss Grand Prix of Design Award. His first collaboration with BD came about during the early 2,000s when he designed Ginger stools, under the Happy Hour collection. Since then he has gone on to create several important works for the company such as the Swiss benches collection of outdoor seating as well as the Doobide Collection, the first tableware collection ever produced by BD Barcelona Design over its 50 year history. Here below BD got a chance to catch up with Alfredo and ask him about some of these collaborative designs and how the relationship came about in the first place.
