Julius
In 1998 a happy little brown bear pedalled his way into children’s hearts. The teddy is called Julius and he loves cycling. Julius is the main character on the children’s favourite dinnerware, which is named after the cuddly friend.
The illustrations of the happy cycling teddy on the service are designed by Finn Næss-Schmidt. That the artist behind Julius is himself an avid cyclist is obvious from his drawings, which shows Julius on different kind of bikes: tandem, trike, delivery bike and bikes with and without stabilisers. When Julius is not cycling, he appears on roller-skates, on skis, in a swimming costume, wearing winter clothes and raingear. All the drawings are rich in detail and tell exciting stories - giving every opportunity for good conversations between children and grown-ups at mealtimes.
The Julius dinnerware consists of a bowl, plate and mug with a red border for girls and a blue border for boys.
