Description

Hellerware Max Dinnerware brings happiness to every table. The shapes are crisp and beautifully proportioned, and the fact that this collection continues to be coveted and enjoyed by modernists worldwide is the definition of great design. 

Stackable and fun! When you look at this sleek stacking dinnerware you can’t help but smile. Loved worldwide, the Max Collection was designed by Lella and Massimo Vignelli, who The New York Times described as “a two-person design army with a shared aesthetic that was sleek and intelligent.”

When our Alan Heller, founder of Heller Furniture, saw the Vignelli’s compact stacking dishware in a museum in the late 1960s and learned that the original manufacturer had closed its business, he sought out Lella and Massimo to bring it back into production. Commonly referred to as Hellerware, this dinnerware was the first product in our assortment, and it began a long and very special partnership between Heller and the Vignellis.

Upon its debut in 1964, the Vignelli’s tableware won the Compasso d’Oro – the most prestigious award for industrial design in the world. Designed to be stacked in a tall, straight column that maximizes storage space and creates a neat cabinet interior, each piece fits securely into the other because of a small lip on the bottom. This lip also lifts the piece off the tabletop, giving it the appearance of hovering.

FDA safe and BPA- and BPS-free. Wash before use. Not safe for microwave, oven, heat lamps or warming drawers. When serving hot food items, especially soups and beverages, they should not exceed 180°F.

Newly made items ship from a warehouse or are made-to-order. There may be a lead time depending on the piece. We'll keep you updated if there is.

What is Freight shipping?

Freight shipping is how most furniture is shipped: secured by hand on a pallet and transported on a truck.

Furniture arrives curbside, often on the shipping pallet for protection.

Freight shipments can take longer and are more costly than regular mail, but help to prevent damage to furniture during delivery.
