ECLIPS from Dutch designer Pieter Stockman TabletopJournal is all about celebrating tabletop within the hospitality world. So, we love it when we find others who are kindred spirits. There are several great UK dealers who are definitely raising the bar when it comes to elevating and showcasing just how good hospitality tabletop can be. One of them is G&G Goodfellows who have just launched their newest portfolio and it is nothing less than spectacular.
Featuring world class brands such as Narumi, Hering–Berlin, Pieter Stockman, Montgolfier, and Degrenne Paris….Goodfellows goes to great lengths to showcase just how tabletop can alter and improve the overall guest dining experience through both product and styling. Working with top chefs in the U.K. and beyond, Goodfellows offers some of the most interesting and creative tabletop lines anywhere.
France’s Montgolfier and their ORIJIN (left), SIGNATURE (center), and BOREALES (right) designs from Goodfellows One great example is Montgolfier (above) who has been an established designer and producer of decorative stoneware since 1947. It still remains in its original location in the beautiful Loire Valley and the products are 100% made in France. Since 2000, Montgolfier has collaborated more closely with external designers to produce contemporary items specifically for today’s restaurateurs. With their unique, specialist glazes providing added dimensions of texture and luster, the products have immense appeal for food presentation. Montgolfier continually works to develop new products in line with the ever-changing food trends and styles.
Another impressive collection that Goodfellows offers is from Dutch designer Pieter Stockman. Goodfellows visited the showroom-studio-gallery of Stockman and his daughter-business partner, Widukind, in Genk and found it was a revelation. Pieter Stockman is not only an eminent ceramics designer, he was also an eminent professor of ceramics, teaching at Maastricht & Genk Universities. So impressed was Goodfellows with Stockman’s designs that they decided to place his DAUW dinnerware (above right) on the cover of their newest Portfolio.
Goodfellows also offers such culinary standards as Figgjo’s new SKYGGE (left) and Degrenne Paris’ MODULO Warm Grey (right) As we said, these are just a few of the outstanding product lines from this very impressive tabletop supplier.
Hospitality tabletop suppliers around the world would do well to check out what’s happening with U.K. dealers such Goodfellows to understand better how tabletop can – and should – be presented and what its impact can be to the guest dining experience.
