SCHONWALD Stays Stylish With New Mixes & Matches in PLAYGROUND Collection

German porcelain company SCHÖNWALD continues to innovate and push the boundaries of creative tabletop thinking with their still new PLAYGROUND collection. The highlights of the new PLAYGROUND catalogue from SCHÖNWALD present themselves with many different faces – ethereally light at times, some experimental, others massive and grounded.

The PLAYGROUND product range supplies plenty of inspiration for striking table situations. Natural stone is trans-formed into trendy bowls, tin cans become cool street food containers, and glass towers de-liver moments of surprise. The materials used include wood, leather, paper, ceramic, slate, marble, melamine, glass and metal. The trendily designed photo pages of the catalogue show not only creative tabletop products but also provide almost endless inspiration for food presentation. When mixed and matched with SCHÖNWALD’s diverse porcelain collections, one’s appetite to produce unusual, new and exciting arrangements is whetted.

The latest edition of the PLAYGROUND catalogue which appeared in November 2017 delivers numerous new products that are ideal for presenting foods in a surprisingly different but always up-to-the-minute way. Restaurateurs who prefer to present their dishes with a rustic touch will love the natural stone bowls. Each piece is collected by hand and carved. These rough, one-off pieces provide exactly the right setting for raw food starters and other unusual amuse-gueules.

The new PLAYGROUND disposable tableware is another highlight: it is the perfect ecological and aesthetic solution for presenting regional and international dishes from the modern street food scene. The plates of different sizes, bowls and dip containers are made of sustainable raw materials comprising 70 per cent sugar cane remnants and 30 per cent FSC-cellulose. That means trendy products that are 100 per cent biodegradable – and watertight and grease-resistant as well.

Why not stack the food for a change? PLAYGROUND’s designers have come up with a great idea for vertical food presentation: amuse-towers made of temperature-resistant borosilicate glass which is ideal for four courses or a culinary quartet.

PLAYGROUND skillfully complements the SCHÖNWALD collections with its trendy materials, and produces new and interesting contrasts and synergy effects. PLAYGROUND’s natural materials for example accentuate the vibrant, rustic quality of the trendy POTTERY decor. The PLAYGROUND products also harmonize with the rustic PEPPER decor, be it WHITE PEPPER, BLACK PEPPER or GREEN PEPPER, lending trendy “farm-to-table” dishes additional zing. When combined with the WELLCOME collection a change of perspective is also produced: selected PLAYGROUND pieces powerfully emphasize the soft lines and asymmetrical shapes, for the benefit of an amorphous visual design. Meanwhile the new ISLANDS collection – for which Noble China comes together with wood and slate – opens up new vistas not only on the table but also at the buffet.
