Carte Blanche by Annebet Philips for Serax transforms the spontaneity of a first sketch into a poetic porcelain tableware collection. Inspired by hand-cut cardboard prototypes, the series preserves the charm of rough mockups: irregular edges, visible fold lines, playful silhouettes, and hand-painted black contours that make each piece feel instinctive and alive.
Designed around familiar forms such as cups, saucers, bowls, plates, a jug, and a teapot, Carte Blanche reimagines everyday tableware with a trompe-l’oeil effect that is both graphic and tactile. The pieces appear almost folded from paper, yet are crafted for daily use, bringing a sense of lightness, humor, and quiet artistry to the table.
With this collection, Dutch designer Annebet Philips captures the creative freedom of the blank page — that fleeting moment when an idea is still fresh, imperfect, and full of possibility. The result is functional tableware with the soul of a prototype: refined, surprising, and beautifully imperfect.
