Quick answer
Choose the BLANC NOUVEAU Bürotasse if you want a versatile set with a saucer that doubles as a snack plate; pick the KURLAND Bürotasse if you prefer a bold purple hue and a classic relief pattern that stands out on your desk.
Design and visual impact
The BLANC NOUVEAU Bürotasse features clean, straight lines and a classic relief decoration that gives it a refined, understated look. It blends seamlessly into any modern or traditional office.
The KURLAND Bürotasse makes a statement with its dark purple décor, a color historically associated with nobility and prestige. The shade shifts between red and blue, adding depth and a touch of luxury to your coffee break.
Beyond the cup: versatility matters
Both cups hold 0.4 liters, a generous size for a long morning meeting or a leisurely afternoon tea.
The BLANC NOUVEAU set includes a large, smooth underplate that can also serve as a tray for a croissant or a slice of cake. This dual-purpose design makes it especially practical if you enjoy a quick breakfast at your desk or a small snack with your drink.
The KURLAND Bürotasse comes without such a multipurpose saucer, so if you value that extra functionality, the BLANC NOUVEAU is the more versatile choice.
