Steelforme’s line of brushed and mirrored finish tabletop accessories brings both creativity and texture to restaurant tabletops When design is in your original genetic code, then there’s a pretty good chance that it’s there to stay. Since 1990, the design team at Steelforme has been building on the knowledge of its clients and developing new and innovative products that resonate with the public, and now have developed its line of hardworking tools for the restaurant and foodservice trade.
Led by Creative Director Craig Bahl, Steelforme Design launched its first line (of several under development) of brushed and mirror finish tabletop accessories at this year’s NRA Show. Not merely bland tools for serving food or beverages, the entire range is a well thought out, creative accompaniment for both the servers and the restaurant customers. For example, the bread and fruit baskets are made of heavy gauge steel (both brushed and mirror finish) to stand up to the rigors of the restaurant operation, but yet through their design, are light weight and with strong visual appeal. In these days of all white, neutral china, Steelforme provides ample creativity and texture for today’s tabletops. This creative, thoughtful approach is evident throughout the Steelforme’s entire initial offering….which is why I say that design seems to be part of Steelforme’s DNA. A soft spot in the heart for bubbly makes the Steelforme champagne bucket one of my favorite items in the range. Besides the fact that it stays cooler longer, its sleek design makes you almost forget that its designed with a practical side as well – made to lock onto the wine bucket stand for tableside service with silicone handles that make “slippery when wet” a non-issue. Well done.
Oh, and, one more for the practical minded…..even though Steelforme is a Canadian company, there is a complete inventory stocked in Buffalo to service the U.S. customer without delay. With more designs on the drawing board and in the pipeline, we can’t wait to see how the DNA continues to play out at Steelforme.
Restaurateurs…..go ahead, transform your tables….with Steelforme.
