Hubb Espresso Cup

Inspired by the Pop Art revolution, Silsal’s Hubb collection was created in collaboration with acclaimed Jordanian illustrator, Maya Assad. Bright, bold and witty, the collection is an enthusiastic nod to the contemporary artistic movement that was born in the 1950s, to a soundtrack of Rock ‘n Roll. A celebration of everyday life, the movement changed the art world, making art more accessible to younger generations.

While Pop Art originated in the UK and America, it spread across world – to the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. It was a global movement, and one that made an impact from Beirut to Baghdad. Silsal focused on harnessing the spirit of that movement, reimagining it for a local audience.

The Hubb collection spans tableware, serveware and decorative objects, including a multi-functional display plate, which can be hung like a piece of art, or used to serve canapés. It plays out in series of daring colour combinations – think turquoise and hot pink, cherry red and canary yellow, lime green and teal. Each porcelain piece is emblazoned with oversized and over-the-top Arabic calligraphy, which spells out the word “Hubb”, meaning “Love”. Accents in contrasting colours, and achingly cool black details finish the look.
