Max 1 Dinnerware Set (25 Pieces)
Max 1 is the stacking dinnerware set Lella and Massimo Vignelli designed in 1964, reissued by Heller in its original white.
It was the first product Heller sold, in 1971, and MoMA holds the Vignellis' stacking dinnerware in its permanent collection. Twenty-five pieces nest onto their own tray into a block about 14.5 inches wide, 10 deep and 9.5 high, which makes the set a practical answer for a small kitchen, a weekend house or a first apartment. Melamine is light and hard to break; it isn't recyclable, so its case is longevity, a set kept for decades. Explore the colored Max sets from Heller to mix in. It's what we use at home.
