Verde lanza collection by pascale naessens
Tableware inspired by Lanzarote and volcanic light
With Verde Lanza, Pascale Naessens turns the atmosphere of Lanzarote into ceramic tableware. The collection draws on the contrast between the island’s dark volcanic landscape and the sun-faded green seen on doors, windows and sparse vegetation. That green glaze gives the collection its identity straight away. The hand-impressed shell-like texture adds another layer and gives the plates, bowls and serving dishes a finish that feels personal rather than polished
Lanzarote is more than a reference
The name Verde Lanza is not just decorative branding. On the Serax collection pages, Lanzarote is clearly presented as the visual starting point: black volcanic ground, weathered green details and a strong sense of place. That gives the collection a very specific look within designer tableware. It is not simply green ceramic dinnerware; it carries a more sun-worn, mineral feel that makes it stand out.
A hand-impressed texture that changes the piece
One of the strongest details in Verde Lanza is the surface. Serax highlights the shell-like texture as a hand-formed element created by Naessens herself. That matters because it gives the ceramic bowls, plates and smaller serving pieces more depth and a stronger tactile finish. The texture is not an afterthought. It is one of the clearest reasons the collection feels so recognisable.
A green glaze that works beautifully with food
According to Serax, the sun-worn green glaze was developed as a shade that complements food from around the world. That makes Verde Lanza especially appealing for anyone looking for tableware that adds colour without overpowering the plate. The collection keeps its own character, but still leaves room for the food to stay central. That balance is one of its strongest selling points.
How to style Verde Lanza
With Verde Lanza, it often works best to let the green glaze do the talking. A few larger plates or one strong serving dish already bring enough colour to the table. The collection also pairs naturally with a more restrained base, then builds character through the green ceramic accents. Bowls and serving plates are especially effective here, because the texture shows up even more clearly on those pieces.
