The Pomona collection takes its name from the Roman goddess associated with fruitfulness, and embraces the same graceful forms and meticulous surface detailing found in Tane's renowned silverware. Drawing inspiration from stormy skies and the atmospheric paintings of Turner, the Tempest pattern adds a dynamic and organic touch to the pieces, evoking a sense of movement. Throughout history, porcelain has been considered a luxurious material often traded alongside silverware in prestigious houses since the 15th century. Reflecting this historical connection, Bodo conceptualised a porcelain range that would expand Tane's market reach and establish it as a leading fine-dining brand in Mexico. Despite Tane's esteemed reputation, the brand had not exhibited in Europe for decades until 2014, necessitating a contemporary revitalisation to firmly place it in the 21st century. Bodo spearheaded a fresh creative direction that honoured the company's heritage while reinforcing its presence in the modern marketplace. Drawing from Tane's archives, Bodo designed an extensive range of silver heritage pieces and introduced the brand to an expanded material palette, incorporating porcelain, stone, and wood alongside silver. Additionally, he orchestrated product launch events in Paris, Munich, and London, elevating Tane's global exposure and reestablishing its position as a distinguished silverware specialist renowned for its bold designs and impeccable craftsmanship.
