Design Services

Julie Pople Designs is now Ink Dish.

Since 1984 the company has developed some of the industry’s most recognizable patterns. The back-stamp may say Villeroy & Boch, Macy’s, or Corelle, but often the bestselling pattern was designed by Ink Dish.

In 2008 the design team launched their own brand of dinnerware. The initial pattern, Irezumi, was selected for the ultimate Metropolitan Home Design 100 list. The process of bringing dinnerware from concept, to production, to retailers’ shelves has helped Ink Dish to expand their breadth of knowledge from design and trends to include production, branding, and distribution.

Ink Dish consults on design with the leading brands in the industry and services customers 365 days a year with our secure online portfolio. Design is the most crucial part of tableware, let Ink Dish ensure that you get it right.

Pattern is the most distinguishing facet of tableware. Brand, price point, and advertising are all secondary to that initial wow that grabs the customer when they first see the display. Great design may be difficult to quantify, but for product lines it is fatal to ignore.

There are a lot of designers in the world, but there are very few who consistently create patterns that hit the market spot on. Our recent commercial successes include best sellers in Macy’s, Bed Bath and Beyond and nine concurrent top one-hundred bestsellers at Wal-Mart, a top ten bestseller at Target and six concurrent top one-hundred bestsellers on Amazon.com

With our constantly updated portfolio, we offer everything from freestanding one-off patterns to a full studio service. All our images are production quality standard: 300 DPI Photoshop files with all the elements in separate layers to allow for easy manipulation. We can fit designs to your shapes, develop new colourways, and customize the designs to your specifications.

We offer set fees for an original design concept, visualised onto a five-piece place setting. Terms for commissions, more extensive projects, and royalty agreements are done on a per project basis.

We are available to meet at any one of the major international tabletop trade fairs where we show our current collection of designs. We also offer secure online showings of our portfolio to established customers and to those we are working with on commission.
