Orion Trading and de Girolamo start the creative process by listening to chefs to understand what the chef is looking for. Those thoughts and ideas are then translated into a solution from one of Orion’s many artisan craftspeople. These handcrafted products, embodied with the chefs ideas and the artisan’s touch, then becomes “alive” with both creative spirit and practicality, according to de Girolamo. From this, the process continues with the chef or restaurant developing an entire tabletop with these products, much like a set director on a movie would set a stage in preparation for a production. The dining guest then becomes the main actor on the stage who is then served and enjoys their meal….but, more importantly, creates a long-lasting memory. It’s that memory of a thoroughly enjoyed meal – a memorable dining experience – that keeps the customer coming back, again and again.
And, within that dining memory, the tabletop has played a sometimes subtle, but crucial role. With that type of approach to product development, it’s no wonder Orion Trading and its unique collection of tabletop products, including a new line of stoneware dinnerware, has such a growing list of fans among the chef community.
Orion Trading creates its diverse line of products for all the talented chefs, foodservice professionals, and daring culinary artists, who treat us to new heights of food art, hospitality and civilized dining. “Their creativity is remains the company’s inspiration,” says de Girolamo.
Since 1987, Orion’s goal has remained to design and source unique, quality handmade tabletop products that complement a chef’s culinary creations, enhance rustic special dining environments, and elevate overall the guest dining experience.
