In a world that often celebrates minimalism, there’s something undeniably refreshing about colour that tells a story. HAY’s new La Pittura collection—a collaboration with American artist Emma Kohlmann—invites us to rediscover joy, spontaneity and artful living through painterly design.
Where Art Meets Function
Known for her free-flowing, abstract figures and bold use of colour, Emma Kohlmann brings a sense of fluidity and playfulness to everyday objects. Each piece in the La Pittura collection transforms functional homeware into living art—turning your table, shelf, or kitchen counter into a curated gallery.
From hand-painted vases and cups to serving platters and trivets, every design feels like a brushstroke captured in time—balancing artistic expression with Scandinavian restraint. The result is a range that is both striking and serene, designed for those who see beauty in the details.
A Dialogue Between Danish Design and Freeform Expression
True to HAY’s design ethos, the La Pittura range celebrates craftsmanship and form. Yet, it’s Emma Kohlmann’s organic aesthetic that brings warmth and unpredictability—reminding us that design can be both refined and raw.
This meeting of creative worlds—Danish precision and artistic spontaneity—feels especially at home in Mecque’s world of considered living. Whether displayed as a sculptural centrepiece or integrated into your daily ritual, each piece becomes a quiet statement of creativity and individuality.
A Collector’s Dream
Limited and distinctive, the La Pittura collection embodies the spirit of collectible design—pieces made to be used, loved, and admired. The tones—soft pomelo pinks, sun-baked ochres, and calming blues—echo the warmth of summer light and the vibrancy of an artist’s studio.
Pair the La Pittura Vase with wild garden stems, serve an afternoon espresso in the La Pittura Cup, or elevate your tablescape with the La Pittura Platter—each item tells a story of art meeting home.
Bring Art Home
At Mecque, we believe that design should inspire emotion. The La Pittura collection invites you to live with art—not on gallery walls, but in your everyday rituals.
