One of the great new hospitality dinnerware collections seen at this past week’s Ambiente was the SHIRO collection from Germany’s Schonwald Porcelain.
The simpleness of the collection, combined with the clean, honest design lines of the shapes were what drew us to new SHIRO first and foremost. The item in the collection that we immediately fell in love with was the coupe bowl.
Minimalist in its design, Schonwald’s new SHIRO has clean lines and a striking collection of coupe shaped items that blends Scandinavian solidity with Japanese gracefulness. The SHIRO collection has been designed by today’s hot industrial designers Stefan Diez and Andrea Lenardin.
Made to elevate further today’s artisanal cuisine, SHIRO provides a solid food presentation foundation for chefs while remaining straightforward and uncomplicated.
From the profile and silhouette, to the angle of its bowl sides, …. To the narrow-edge rim… these SHIRO deep plates will work for everything from starters to desserts.
The minimalist simplicity of SHIRO will allow chefs to use it to showcase a special menu item or to use it as an upgraded specialty banquet serving for large volume occasions.
There are also a variety of flat round and oval serving pieces in the SHIRO collection, along with all the required cups and saucers to accompany dining of all types.
SHIRO is just being launched here in Europe and, as many of our listeners know – Libbey Foodservice is the source for all things Schonwald in the American hospitality market.
So, while we don’t know what Libbey’s plans are for new SHIRO from Schonwald, we certainly hope that we’ll be seeing this hot new dinnerware in Chicago in May.
