The traditional German flatware manufacturer HEPP is starting out in a completely new direction in the year of its 150th anniversary: the STYLE cutlery range is characterized by its powerful shapes and straight lines and is thus clearly different from other cutlery. Chamfers on the edges of the handles break up the smooth, highly polished surfaces and transfer the same modern design seen in architecture and automotive construction to the world of fine dining.

The uniqueness of this collection is definitely the bowl of the spoon; which is deliberately designed in a "square" shape. Another particular eye-catcher in this collection is the handsome knife with a classically long blade and wide handle. With its optically protruding dimensions, Hepp's STYLE provides an especially suitable accompaniment to modern, capacious dinnerware in any shape.

The excellent balance, and high material strength of four millimeters emphasizes the striking design and the quality of STYLE and at the same time ensures a very pleasant haptic experience when eating.

Bauscher's new ENJOY COLORS has five decors, including new "EFFECTS" shown here.
Bauscher’s new ENJOY range now includes plates with narrow rims in four sizes and new soup bowls, providing restaurateurs with even more options for presenting their culinary creations in a highly individual and versatile way. Bauscher will also introduce “ENJOY COLORS”, five new decorating ideas that show the variety of the collection.

Since its launch in 2010, ENJOY has been very popular with hotels and restaurants as well as professional caterers. The collection’s design, inspired by the natural curves of a delicate necklace, has been nominated for the 2013 German Design Award.

While the existing plates from Bauscher's original ENJOY collection, with their elegant, wide rims, are a real eye-catcher, the appeal of the new narrow-rimmed plates is their especially large surface area, making them the perfect addition to the ENJOY range and offers a wide variety of options for food presentation.

Bauscher is demonstrating the versatility of the ENJOY collection with five new décor innovations. ENJOY COLORS new decors allow something for every restaurant menu and ambiance:

• The fine lines of the Effects design produce a three-dimensional impression, blending into the rim and underlining its soft curve in the third dimension.

• The mosaic-like Country Style décor opens up different gastronomic backdrops depending on the color scheme. Red, for example, suits the contemporary country house style, while gray conveys understated elegance.

Fancy brings a sophisticated highlight to any table setting. The grainy, mesh-like pattern produces a deceptively realistic effect that evokes high- quality leather.

• The floral pattern of Modern Romance has a loosely scattered effect. The interplay of the colors lends the stylized flower pattern, with its silhouette-style blooms, a special charm – ideal for cuisine that is inventive and light.

• With its vibrant and contemporary hues, the Block Colors range reawakens the pleasure of dining. Whether used for flamboyant individual pieces, or in combination with different shades or patterns, this intensive color range brings great vitality to the table.
It’s been a busy year for the folks at Bauscher USA. The company now distributes five brands of commercial tabletop products: Bauscher, HEPP, Tafelstern, WMF, and Luigi Bormioli. These five brands are an ideal match through their category expertise and European roots.
