New Roman Plates & Bowls
Born from a long-standing ambition to create products that seamlessly blend form and function.
Over a decade ago, we noticed the cafe industry was in need of a well-designed espresso cup, designed by those who use them daily.
Our approach is straightforward: design functional, durable, and elegant products for everyday use.

Classic cafeteria nostalgia
The Union Mug was created out of pure enjoyment for the simple cafeteria mug. This is the Acme version of Aotearoas cafeteria mug that was created by Crown Lynn Potteries and was used by Union workers from the 1950s.

Distinctive form for tea
The Bibby Cups were inspired by an early 20th century tea cup that we found at the bottom of a box. After it was created, we thought the shaped looked a little bit like Bibendum, aka the Michelin Man. Which is where the name Bibby came from.
There is a very functional reason for the shape! The wide rim allows you to sip at the perfect temperature, while the deep centre holds the heat.

Designed for cozy moments
Bobby is a versatile mug designed for wrapping your hands around, weather it's a cup of tea, or a hand-poured filter coffee. A favourite at the Acme office for when we have brewed a filter pot of something yummy!
