On January 27th and 28th, 2015, the final of the renowned competition of the top interna-tional gastronomes, the Bocuse d’Or, took place in Lyon. Nicolas Luc Villeroy, Board Member for Tableware at Villeroy & Boch also traveled to the hometown of the eponymous Paul Bocuse to personally congratulate the winners. In addition to the winner from Norway, Orjan Johannessen, he also congratulated from the podium the second place winner from the U.S., Philip Tessler, as well as the third place winner Tommy Myllymaki from Sweden.
In the 2014/2015 competition as well, Villeroy & Boch provided the official competition plates. The round plates with a diameter of 31.5 cm from the successful collection “Affinity” offered the chefs plenty of space to present their sophisticated dishes thanks to its large size. In addition to the current competition plates this year once again there was a Bocuse d’Or collector’s plate from Villeroy & Boch in limited edition for all par-ticipants of the competition as well as guests of the gala dinner on the night of the final. The special décor comes from the brush of the French artist and designer Alain Vavro, who has been developing the décor for the collector’s plates since 1995, which is personally approved by Paul Bocuse.
The Villeroy & Boch Hotel & Restaurant Division has been closely connected to the world-renowned cooking competition for many years. Villeroy & Boch is a Membre associé du Bocuse d’Or and has been producing the popular Bocuse d’Or event plates for many years
