Immersed in a creative environment from an early age, Notting Hill-native Richard Brendon went on to study design at university. During that time, he worked in a pub near the iconic Portobello Market in West London, a place filled with antique British porcelain items. After realizing that the market featured a surplus of vintage saucers due to teacups breaking, he started to develop a creative concept. Made for the designer's graduate exhibition, the series of mirrored cups that allowed antique saucer patterns to come to life in reflective surfaces became a hit. Richard Brendon established his own brand soon after, in 2013. Now, the company works with leading British companies to create tableware collections that blend vintage and contemporary details in timeless designs. The brand collaborates with master craftspeople to bring every product to life. Designed to maximize the enjoyment of food and drink, the Richard Brendon collections also put traditional materials like fine china and cut crystal in a new light.
