Postmodern tea set by Peter Maly for Wilkens Germany - 1980s

One-of-a-kind piece
  • LIMITED EDITION WORK
Designed by Peter Maly for the renowned German silversmith Wilkens, this striking postmodern tea set exemplifies the bold geometric design language of the 1980s. Comprising a teapot, sugar bowl and cream jug, the ensemble combines sculptural forms with exceptional functionality, transforming everyday tableware into a work of architectural design. Each piece is crafted from polished stainless steel, defined by sharply faceted bodies that are softened by warm wooden handles and finials. The interplay of reflective metal, geometric volumes and natural materials creates a refined visual balance that is unmistakably characteristic of German postmodern design. Peter Maly is celebrated for his minimalist yet expressive approach to industrial design, and this set perfectly illustrates his ability to unite precision, innovation and timeless elegance. Whether used for serving tea or displayed as a sculptural centerpiece, the ensemble remains an iconic example of 1980s German design and an exceptional addition to any collection of postmodern decorative arts.
