The studio shot of a white coffee set with mythological reliefs, taken by Frank Philippi in Hoboken, 1953, showcases a coffee set designed with detailed mythological imagery.
The use of mythological reliefs reflects the mid-20th century's fascination with classical motifs, as well as an aesthetic trend that blended modern design with classical influences. Philippi, known for his photographic work, captured this design in a studio setting, emphasising the texture and craftsmanship of the set.
