CALA – 2026 Novelty, Lagoon Green and Textured Grey Melamine
CALA: the lagoon comes to the table
Some colours reassure, others awaken. CALA, APS Germany's 2026 novelty, clearly belongs to the second kind. Its lagoon green, luminous and vibrant, has nothing of the dark, earthy green sometimes associated with plant life: it is the green of clear water, of a tropical lagoon, bringing instant freshness and vitality to a table. Paired with a matte, textured grey exterior, it composes a sharp, almost mineral contrast between stone and water.
This interplay of materials and colours is CALA's true signature. The turquoise interior catches the eye and enhances whatever it holds; the more sober grey exterior anchors the piece in contemporary elegance. The result is neither classic "nature" tableware nor strictly design-led tableware: it is a two-tone piece that tells of both the sea and the stone, of freshness and sophistication at once.
A setting that enhances rather than imposes
Lagoon green has a valuable quality in the dining room: it is cool and vibrant at once, making it an ideal setting for the warm colours on the plate. Grilled fish, crisp vegetables, a red-fruit dessert stand out vividly against this shade, as if lit by contrast. It is tableware that works for the dish, never competing with it.
The textured grey exterior, meanwhile, evokes fine stone or wet slate: it places CALA in a mineral, natural register, yet resolutely current. This double reading, mineral calm on the outside, the liveliness of water within, is what sets CALA apart from any other coloured range in the catalogue.
Who is it for?
- Restaurants and brasseries with an assertive contemporary identity
- Seaside concepts and coastal tables
- Lifestyle hotels seeking a fresh, current touch of colour
- Venues wanting to move beyond white without compromising on elegance
CALA is not a discreet range: its two-tone design has character and calls for a venue ready to embrace it. For a neutral or classic identity, a range like PURE will remain more suitable.
The range's strength
Lagoon green and textured grey: a 2026 novelty pairing marine freshness with mineral sophistication, for a table that stands out without ever overdoing it.
