Manufactured in France by J.G. Durand’s famed Arcoroc division, the Octime pattern became a defining aesthetic staple of 1980s postmodern kitchenware. Crafted from durable, impact-resistant tempered glass, this obsidian-like line rejected traditional round dishware in favor of bold, octagonal structures that perfectly captured the high-contrast, graphic interior design trends of the late twentieth century.
