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 [13]

The Acme Classic Range Flat White Cup (150ml) is ideal for the classic Wellington flat white – a small and strong double ristretto milk beverage.

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.
