The magnolia has a centuries-old history and is considered by botanists to be the original form of all flowering plants known today. The graceful grove with the fine blossoms was cultivated early on and already grew as an ornamental flower in Asian monastery gardens and Buddhist temples as early as the 7th century. In the Yin and Yang symbol, the magnolia represents the feminine (Yin) and stands for grace, beauty, purity, true love and deep-rooted strength. The beautiful design of this mug shows a branch of the magnificent purple magnolia. The detailed illustration is created with great attention to detail, giving the decor an almost photorealistic appearance. In combination with the subtle white background a beautiful contrast is formed which makes the design shine.
This beautiful artwork is inspired by the well-known work "Le Chat Noir" by the French Art Nouveau painter and artist Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen. It was created as a commissioned work and poster design for a popular cabaret in Montmartre. From 1881 to 1897, this was the meeting place for many writers, actors and chanson singers and was called Le Chat Noir - the black cat. As the first modern cabaret with table service and stage performances, Le Chat Noir quickly gained popularity and hosted many stars and politicians. The Cha Cult design takes up essential elements of the original poster and interprets them in a modern way.
This extraordinary series shows interpretations of different world-famous artworks by the Austrian artist Gustav Klimt. "The Kiss" is one of the most famous motifs of Art Nouveau painting. It shows a couple in love and is considered the most popular work from Klimt's golden phase. "The Expectation" is a section of a mosaic frieze that Klimt made in 1910/1911 for the Palais Stoclet in Brussels. The motif's fine decorative elements pay homage to Egyptian mysticism and symbolism, which were central themes in Klimt's "golden period". The "The Virgin" shows women who each represent different stages of life. In this way, the work creates a connection between beauty and transience, youth and mortality. The richly detailed, colourful decorations of the artworks are given a high-quality touch by exclusive gold accents. So this series looks particularly noble and fine. A must-have for all art enthusiasts and Klimt fans.
