PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR 2026 – CLOUD DANCER
Soft nuances, powerful impact: a warm white tone that redefines timeless elegance, modern clarity, and the beauty of the essential.
With Cloud Dancer, Pantone’s Color of the Year 2026, white porcelain steps into the spotlight. The delicate, warm white tone stands for lightness, clarity, and conscious restraint. It creates space for details, for artisanal precision, and for designs that do not need to be loud to make a presence.
White is not just white.
In the luxury segment, quality reveals itself in nuances: a warm, calm white like Cloud Dancer appears artisanal, timeless, and refined. It stands for understatement rather than staging, for effortless luxury without noise – and for porcelain that endures far beyond seasonal trends.
White Porcelain – Timeless. Versatile. Essential.
White porcelain is a must-have because it combines understated beauty with maximum versatility. It presents food perfectly, complements any style, and remains permanently relevant regardless of trends – an expression of quality and timeless luxury.

The AURÉOLE form in WHITE offers limitless freedom for diverse table settings: plates become representative stages, cups open like a magnolia blossom toward the sunlight.
Clarity in form and function – the DATUM collection
The modular tableware series DATUM combines a clear design language with a high degree of everyday flexibility. Plates, cups, mugs, and bowls interlock precisely and can be individually combined and stacked. In the calm white tone, the form designed by Foster + Partners Industrial Design unfolds its full strength in combination with Pantone’s Color of the Year: reduced, architectural, and consistently modern. For its outstanding design, DATUM was awarded the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2023.
Geometry meets lightness – the CARLO collection
With its clear geometry and softly curved lines, the CARLO collection reflects the spirit of Pantone’s Color of the Year Cloud Dancer. The trend toward warm, calm white tones emphasizes the balanced proportions, precise contours, and subtle contrasts of the form, giving the design a deliberately reduced yet expressive appearance.
