Bead features a timelessly classic, elegantly embossed edge which has its roots in the heritage of centuries past. Of course, as with many classic designs, Bead makes a strong contemporary statement too, framing food very effectively and providing Chef with an understated and versatile presentation platform.
As if that wasn’t enough, Bead also features secondary, signature embossed pieces to add an eclectic mix of styles, empowering Chef to add more versatility and visual richness to suit his style and personality.
According to Andrew Klimecki, VP of Design at Steelite International:
“Bead came about as a counterpoint to a lot of product in the marketplace that is overdesigned and tricky to use. Bead is very proudly a workhorse range that extols the many central strengths of a Steelite product: durability, strength, heat retention, ease of use, longevity and authenticity coupled with innate style, design excellence, versatility and with a nod to Social Media. We looked to the past to redefine the future. Bead takes its inspiration from the elegance of eighteenth-century silver and pewterware. The classic fine proportions, attention to detail and supreme craftsmanship combine to provide the very best platform for versatile menu presentation.
That said, we wanted to go further. We felt that a signature range that could stand alone but also accent the main items would add vibrancy, drama and texture and for this we looked to iconic British design of the mid 1970’s.
Together, Bead and Bead Accents compliment and contrast with each other, providing a synergetic relationship that is both eclectic and classic, much like the menus from today’s best Chefs.”
New Bead dinnerware from Steelite also offers a wide selection of items including soup and pasta plates, coupe and dinner plates that are perfect for banquet service. Extremely durable, with stackable items, Bead is functional and versatile, making it ideal for large scale dining events.
Bead comprises all the items necessary for effective and professional banqueting, brasserie service and casual dining along with a versatile and functional beverage service. Bead is made from the world respected Steelite Performance body, ensuring the ultimate in strength, durability and functionality both in a busy kitchen and front of house.
Bead consists of two elements: Bead and Bead Accents.
The Bead range features the classic linear design and is carried across the main range of items. The Bead Accents component offers an alternative decorative style to key presentation items alongside the classic iteration. The Bead Accents decoration provides a contemporary element that adds texture and visual excitement. Both can be mixed freely for a personalized collection.
In these times of visual engagement, Bead dinnerware offers another effective way to make a strong visual statement through custom decoration. From the addition of a company logo or colour band around the edge of a plate, creating something unique for your brand helps you engage with your diners.
With more and more people photographing their dishes and sharing on social media, now is the perfect time to create your personalised tableware and enhance your tabletop presentation.
