FÜRSTENBERG: DATUM - SATIN FINISH

Mug 0.40 l

Some mornings deserve better than an ordinary mug

There are mugs you simply drink from. And then there are mugs that somehow make your morning coffee feel a little more intentional. The satin-finished DATUM mug by FÜRSTENBERG belongs firmly in the second category. With its clean architectural silhouette and calm, understated character, it brings quiet elegance to everyday routines — whether it sits beside a croissant at breakfast or accompanies long afternoons at your desk.

Crafted from fine hard porcelain in Germany, the 0.40 litre mug combines contemporary design with the precision of traditional craftsmanship. Its satin-matte exterior gives the white porcelain a beautifully soft tactile quality, while the glazed interior ensures durability and a smooth drinking experience. With a diameter of 9.4 cm, the mug offers generous space for cappuccino, tea, flat white or hot chocolate — because some drinks are simply better when there is enough of them.

The geometry of the DATUM collection feels deliberately restrained, yet highly sophisticated. Every proportion appears carefully considered, every line quietly balanced. Designed by Foster + Partners Industrial Design in collaboration with FÜRSTENBERG, the mug reflects a thoughtful approach where form, functionality and atmosphere exist in complete harmony.

Minimalism that feels surprisingly warm

DATUM was conceived as a modular porcelain collection. Plates, bowls, cups and mugs are interconnected through a shared geometric system, allowing them to stack efficiently and combine seamlessly. The result is a collection that feels contemporary and practical without losing its sense of warmth and character.

The satin mug fits naturally into modern interiors, relaxed breakfast settings or carefully curated table arrangements. Its stackable design makes it especially suitable for those who appreciate refined aesthetics but still want functionality for everyday life. Dishwasher and microwave safe, it is designed to be used often — and enjoyed even more over time.

Porcelain craftsmanship with architectural precision

FÜRSTENBERG is one of Germany’s oldest porcelain manufacturers and internationally recognised for exceptional porcelain craftsmanship made in Germany. A high level of manual production remains part of the manufacturing process today, reflecting the brand’s commitment to precision, creativity and lasting quality.

With DATUM, FÜRSTENBERG reimagines modern tableware through a collaboration with Foster + Partners Industrial Design. The award-winning collection, honoured with the Red Dot Award: Product Design, combines architectural thinking with refined craftsmanship in a way that feels timeless rather than trend-driven.

Designed for everyday rituals

The satin DATUM mug pairs beautifully with other pieces from the collection, including matching plates, bowls and the iconic porcelain French press. Its soft white finish works particularly well alongside natural materials such as linen, wood or brushed steel, creating calm and balanced table settings.

Whether used for slow mornings, focused work sessions or evening tea rituals, this porcelain mug adds a subtle sense of intention to daily life. Quietly refined, beautifully tactile and thoughtfully designed — exactly the kind of object that becomes part of your routine without ever feeling ordinary.
