NOC x BOMSHBEE

We are excited to announce our collaboration with NOC COFFEE CO. Bringing to you an unparalleled experience of simplicity. Customers at NOC can now enjoy brunch in BOMSHBEE Dinnerware at their newest and largest location in Hong Kong: NOC WHAMPOA

NOC Coffee Co., spanning six locations throughout Hong Kong, is more of a philosophy than a coffee shop. Centered upon curation and simplicity, NOC thoughtfully embodies their mission in their coffee craft. 

“Like BOMSHBEE, NOC is intentional in design,” said William Lau, BOMSHBEE co-founder. “For us, this is a perfect match and we are pleased NOC customers will be able to enjoy their brunch and treats on BOMSHBEE products. We believe our products will only add to the experience.”

Known for their diligence in preparation of food and coffee, the NOC experience comes with an overall calm aesthetic. Both NOC AND BOMSHBEE embody quality in simplicity with compliments of approachable artistry.

“Our favorites from the Bomshbee collection include the Tinge bowl and plates in ash grey,” said Benny Leung, NOC founder. “We appreciate how the exposed rims on the plates and bowls are executed beautifully to highlight the use of glazed and raw porcelain surfaces. The sleek curves on the edges of the dinnerware help create an elegant tablescape.”

“It was love at first sight for us when we saw the Silo Salt and Pepper Shakers. The subtle, wavy texture of the letters ‘S’ and ‘P’, and the different shades of grey color on the shakers are designed to help users distinguish between salt and pepper,” said Leung. “We love that the shakers encompass the minimalist ideals of functionality and thoughtful design.”

“NOC is an acronym of Not Only Coffee. From my experience in the industry, I learned that it takes a lot more than just tasty food and beverage for an eatery to succeed,” said Benny. “The formula to success is made up of exceptional customer service, a service mindset, space design within the restaurant, hygiene and a lot more. I have integrated my observations into NOC’s core values; I think a coffee brand needs to offer more than just good coffee to succeed, so we strive to offer the best of Not Only Coffee, but also food, space, and service.”

Minimalist design is all about quality over quantity — and thus focuses on functionality. Because the focus is on having only what is necessary, minimalist designs must be timeless and built to last.

BOMSHBEE seeks to celebrate the everyday, simple moments. We believe that tableware is part of the home, meant to be enjoyed for many years on a daily basis. All products serve an important function, and shapes are meant to aide ease of use, while designs are classic and elegant.

BOMSHBEE’s angle bell glasses embody the minimalist ideals of functionality and timeless design. The glasses come in two sizes, highball and DOF, and two colors, classic clear and smoke. The shape of each handmade glass renders it easy to hold and looks in place on any table setting. Those who appreciate minimalism will enjoy having these useful additions to their tableware collections. 

Minimalism and Instagram photography go hand-in-hand with tableware that has the ability to enhance an image without diverting attention from the topic of interest — the food. BOMSHBEE products’ simple shapes, clean lines and one-dimensional colors fit the bill. 

The tinge clay dinnerware from BOMSHBEE is ideal for presenting meals through images online. These sets come in simple light and dark tones. Solid ash grey and charcoal sets are available, and two-toned sets come in white and grey. The two-toned sets are perfect for anyone who prefers simple style with an accent for some visual zest.

“We are honored to be included in the SFMOMA Museum Store’s collection,” said William Lau, BOMSHBEE co-founder. “We recognize that the store’s buyers are on the forefront of design and appreciate the detail and quality we work to achieve in each and every BOMBSHBEE product. We believe museum visitors will enjoy our beautifully designed products.”

Howard Thornton, design objects buyer at the SFMOMA Museum Store, said he appreciated BOMSHBEE’s design aesthetic when he saw them at NY NOW. Thornton described BOMSHBEE’s designs as “contemporary and timeless”and said he knew he wanted to find a way to share their products with others by getting them in SFMOMA’s Museum Store.

“I love the thoughtful design of Bomshbee,” Thornton said. “The Marlin cup and saucers go perfectly with the black and white coffee making products we sell.”

Overall, the carefully curated Museum Store brings SFMOMA’s modern and contemporary art collection and exhibitions into the lives of diverse visitors through a hand-picked selection of innovative merchandise. The store is based on the idea that “art has the power to open minds.”

“We look to our collection and exhibitions for inspiration when choosing a product to bring to our visitors, and we search for objects that are deeply connected to the art and design on our walls, keeping in mind good design, aesthetics, creativity, and imagination,” the store’s website says.

Wedding season is upon us, and engaged couples are searching for those special items that they will cherish for years to come. Wedding gift registries offer the opportunity to collect items that will create memories and symbolize a couple’s lives together. Rather than become overwhelmed by yet another task throughout the wedding planning process, we at BOMSHBEE want to help brides and grooms simplify and enjoy the task of choosing goods that will complete your home as you embark on this meaningful journey. 

One of our favorites gift ideas for wedding gifts are BOMSHBEE’s RING glasses — a perfect addition for any household and especially appropriate for wedding registry and gifts!

When it comes to tableware and home goods, we recommend adding items that have functional use, as well as enhance the elegant design of the home. We are providing some points to consider when choosing items to add to a wedding registry.

Think long-term:

Marriage is a commitment, and so is choosing essential products for a new family home. Whether considering a dinnerware set for family holidays or a fragrance diffuser that will set the mood from the moment anyone enters the home, you will want to have confidence that each gift will be part of your life for many years.

Choose elegant design:

In addition to function, home goods serve to reflect your style. The beauty and quality of the items is as important as their purpose, so choose items with aesthetic that both parties appreciate. You can’t go wrong with classic and sophisticated design. Sharing a home means that each item should reflect the desired image of the two creating it.

Focus on daily essentials:

After opening wedding gifts, you should feel confident that the two of you have everything you need in terms of kitchenware and home decor. Be sure to include items for everyday use. When registering, consider how much use you will get out of the products and whether you will be excited for each use. Regularly using items that remind you of your special day will create extraordinary experiences from simple moments. Imagine the memories you can share every single day!

Include special occasion items:

In addition to items you will put to use frequently, be sure to have a few items that will make appearances on holidays and anniversaries. Reserving treasured goods for certain celebrations will produce excitement behind the idea of using them. Over the years, family and friends will talk about the memories they have made surrounded by these special pieces.

With spring upon us and summer just around the corner, who isn’t ready for a refreshing glass of ice-cold lemonade? Here at BOMSHBEE, we believe that the pitchers and glassware for serving drinks are just as important to the experience as what is in them. Our optic carafe pitcher and optic highball glasses are perfect for serving up this thirst-quenching lemonade. 

Ingredients:

10 large lemons

2 cups sugar

7 cups water

1 cup strawberries, quarter-sliced

Ice (if desired)

Directions:

Juice lemons. This can be done with a juicer if you have one. If you juice by hand, we recommend rolling the lemon back and forth against a hard surface then slicing it in half. Juice all 8 lemons by squeezing them over a mixing bowl, and then strain the pulp from the liquid. Add sugar to lemon juice and stir together until the sugar is mixed well into the liquid. Pour water over mixture and stir until sugar dissolves. Blend the strawberries. The purée option for blending creates the ideal consistency for this mixture. Pour strawberry purée into optic carafe pitcher or other BOMSHBEE pitcher. Pour lemonadesolution into the pitcher, and store in refrigerator until serving.

To serve: Stir generously before serving. Fill optic highball glass with ice and pour strawberry lemonade over ice. Garnish with strawberry slice and or lemon slice.

The BOMSHBEE philosophy is “the little matters.” This delicious and beautiful drink is simple to make and will enrich your enjoyment of the little moments that make up your summer. Whether you sip poolside surrounded by friends or while relaxing on your patio at sunset, this refreshing beverage is sure to make for a summertime of sweet moments.
