History

Established in 2004.

Brian Blake, a 14 year veteran of Mikasa and the son of Mikasa visionary Alf Blake, established Red Vanilla in 2004 with two overarching ideas: Red Vanilla needed to embody a lifestyle of entertainment, enjoyment, and design and Red Vanilla needed to define itself by finding ideal products of the highest quality. To accomplish this, Red Vanilla’s dinnerware, serveware, giftware, furniture, and centerpieces exist on the cutting edge of design all while driving the industry forward with an inspired perspective on where to go next. Brian has said that Red Vanilla has an advantage in attaining the pinnacle of design, noting that «the beauty of Red Vanilla is we’re not the Queen Mary, I’m just a guy in a rowboat and I can quickly change direction. We can continually reinvent ourselves around fun and hip product.» Because of this, Red Vanilla’s design elements are always adapting, always current, and always at the forefront of contemporary aesthetic practice.
