One of the mugs features red, blue and green tones, decorated with strawberries, blueberries and the peacock butterfly as it flies playfully and poetically through the summer. This theme also includes a bowl – perfect for serving berries, cookies or other tasty treats to your summer guests. The second mug is kept in light blue hues and decorated with the pretty forget-me-not, a symbol of love and friendship, together with a sweet blue tit flying in and out between the flowers. This design also includes a bowl for you to match the cups with – or mix both themes to encompass the full summer palette.

The motifs are painted on the familiar mug and small bowl from the Hammershøi tableware series, and the discreet grooves give both pieces an elegant and classic expression. You can make your table setting even more stylish by combining the summer berry theme with different dark green pieces in the Hammershøi series, such as vases, the thermos jug, glasses and bowls, which will complement the green colours in the decorations beautifully and get the red tones to stand out even more. The forget-me-not theme can be combined with the new grey thermos jug in the Hammershøi series.

In fact when you look at Hammershøi Summer, you can almost feel the sun’s rays and the warm summer breeze on your skin. Rikke Jacobsen, the artist behind the watercolour decorations, was inspired by the magical shapes, colours and moods of the blossoming summer. Many of you may recognise her signature lines from Kähler's Hammershøi Christmas, Hammershøi Spring and Hammershøi Poppy series, which she also decorated. With the most beautiful watercolours, she creates detailed motifs where flora and fauna play a central role. Always vibrant, dynamic and evocative.
