Studio Nova Dinnerware

The Studio Nova brand is a member of the Mikasa family. Created in 1984 and dedicated to serving the fashion-minded consumer, Studio Nova continuously offered a successful variety of transitional and contemporary designs of superior quality which is suitable for any lifestyle. From the contemporary to the traditional, the quality of these patterns will prove fitting for any occasion.

In 2004, Truck Product Architecture, the New York based design firm, created its first line for the Studio Nova brand. The warmly modern Truck Collection was launched at the 2004 Chicago Housewares Show and includes uniquely designed dinnerware, flatware, stemware, barware, accessories, kitchenware and small furnishings.

Jennifer Carpenter, founding partner and Director of Design at Truck, developed the line with the rigor and attention to detail that is indicative of practicing architecture for almost ten years. "We take material and structural cues from the built environment and reinterpret them for the product scale" she explains. With its dedication to contemporary excellence in dining, Studio Nova is highly qualified to meet Truck's exacting production standards and shares Truck's belief in good, accessible design. "All of Truck's work is designed for people who, like me, want to be surrounded by smartly designed products that are seriously functional but also fun — and fairly priced." — states Jennifer.

Studio Nova Retired Dinnerware Patterns

At the end of 2007, the Studio Nova line of patterns was discontinued by Mikasa and replaced with Gourmet Basics by Mikasa, which features everyday casual dinnerware, created with style. Gourmet Basics by Mikasa offers the same quality and style you came to love about Studio Nova; the name has just changed.

We have attempted to list all the patterns that were produced over the years from 1984 to 2007 under the Studio Nova brand. Is there a Studio Nova pattern that you adore, but alas you're having difficulty finding pieces to add to your collection? What are you to do? Don't despair! There are solutions!

One solution is to start monitoring online auctions. There are lots of Studio Nova items listed for sale at any given time. Fortunately, we've been able to simplify the process for you by breaking a lot of the Studio Nova down into individual patterns and providing you with just the available listings for your pattern.

Most advertisers list an item for at least a week, so if you do not find the item you are looking for today, bookmark this page and check back each week. Eventually the item you are looking for should appear. Many of the items offered for sale are still in their original boxes, and can be purchased at a reasonable price. If you are having difficulty finding your pattern, consider adding pieces from another pattern in the same color tones which will complement your pattern.

There are literally hundreds of Studio Nova patterns. Did we miss your pattern? We'll be happy to create a page for your pattern. Just post your request at our forum:
