Francfranc Launches "Jun Kissa" Tableware Series Inspired by Retro Cafés

Interior lifestyle brand Francfranc is rolling out a "Jun Kissa" (pure café) tableware series at stores nationwide from May 15, 2026. The collection draws on the growing interest in Japan's distinctive pure coffee shop culture, blending Showa-era nostalgia with designs suited to modern everyday life.

Note: select stores and the Francfranc online shop began carrying the collection in early May 2026. The series is not available at Francfranc BAZAR outlet stores.

Retro Café Mood, Updated for Modern Living

The series brings the world of Japan's beloved "jun kissa" — retro-style coffee shops that flourished during the Showa era — into the home through tableware designed for daily use. Two ceramic sub-series anchor the lineup: the "Classic Rose" series, with small rose motifs and gold rim accents, and the "Dot" series, featuring a fine dot-and-lace pattern in a more relaxed silhouette. A range of complementary items rounds out the collection, making it easy to mix and match pieces into a personalized at-home café style.

Classic Rose Series

The Classic Rose series features small rose motifs in ceramic with gold rim accents for a polished, elegant look. Collecting multiple pieces makes for a particularly striking teatime spread.

Dot Series

The Dot series features fine dot and lace patterns on ceramic pieces with a slightly casual silhouette. The designs avoid veering too heavily into a classic look, and different colors can be mixed together for a more personal table setting. Plating everyday food or sweets on these dishes is enough to introduce a jun kissa aesthetic to the table.
