With all the activity surrounding being acquired by Monomoy Capital Partners, you would think that the good folks at Oneida Ltd. might be a little preoccupied with getting to know their new sister company, Anchor Hocking. On the contrary, Oneida, showing that they are still completely focused on the foodservice marketplace, has just announced four new tableware designs targeting luxury, fine and casual dining. The new patterns expand on their current product portfolio and make fine compliments to the Anchor lines of glassware. “We’re especially excited about the visual and tactile elements of these designs and of their ability to enhance the dining experience”, stated Paul Gebhardt, SR VP Design and Advertising at Oneida. Timeless and contemporary, SURREY’S warm “Maxadura” body provides a beautiful canvas for chefs’ artistic creations and a limited 5 year chip warranty. First up is a new addition to Oneida’s luxury dining lineup. “SURREY”, a timeless and contemporary design, joins their Wedgwood Collection. SURREY’S warm white “Maxadura” body works well as a canvas for chef’s creations. With generous plating surfaces, and a mid-sized rim, SURREY frames and presents food well. Both its color and its shape make SURREY adaptable for many contemporary menus. SURREY carries a limited 5-year no-chip warranty. Simple and beautiful, CIRCA is a timeless design that will enhance andy menu or restaurant. CIRCA features a limted 3 year no chip warranty. Next is “CIRCA”, an addition to Oneida’s fine dining dinnerware that is both dramatic and revealing. This new design from the Sant Andrea Collection in fine porcelain details its center wells with a raised bezel, creating a visual theater and enhancing the dining experience. With an appealing variety of shapes that offer chefs exciting stylistic opportunities, CIRCA brings fresh and fascinating ways of staging your presentation. CIRCA also features a high-fire scratch and mark resistant glaze that carries a limited 3-year no-chip warranty. Pairing a design-forward hammered finish and a classic, architecturally inspired border, ATLAS (left) is the epitome of classic-modern design. Shapely Style. Showcasing both form and function, ACCLIVITY (right) has a recessed element at the handle center that stands out with a bright mirror finish. Oneida’s new product introductions aren’t limited to dinnerware. Known always as a leader in flatware, Oneida continues to lead with its introduction of two new patterns – “ATLAS” and “ACCLIVITY”. ATLAS flatware captures the creative trend of texture as pattern. With clean tailored lines in heavyweight stainless, Atlas is a winner. Excellent feel in the hand and lux-finishing add to its unique flair and classic appeal. ATLAS stainless speaks to originality and superior design. Meanwhile, ACCLIVITY is clean, modern and sculptural. Showcasing both form and function, ACCLIVITY has a recessed center panel in the center of each handle that pools with light from a super-bright mirror finish. Modernist in inspiration, the teardrop handle is both visually understated and tactile. A delicate convex element at the base of each bowl adds further dimension to the clean aesthetic.
