Why Do So Many Restaurants Love Degrenne Plates?

2019-08-21T09:08:00.000-07:00

Well, in a nutshell, they are getting modern design, considerate shapes for plating, resilience and longevity all for a decent price. What's not to love?

Indeed, just as you may have unwittingly eaten off its plates and bowls whilst eating out, you may also have used Degrenne's cutlery. In fact, this is how Degrenne started out.

The innovative founder, Guy Degrenne, had the inspired idea of recovering the armoured steel of tanks used during the Battle of Normandy WWII, to produce stamping dies for stainless steel cutlery. From these humble beginnings, the House of Degrenne was born.

Degrenne embraced success with its appealing cutlery, but no resting on laurels for this House. Porcelain factories were acquired and Degrenne set about designing and creating beautiful collections of tableware, glassware and hotelware.

Today, Degrenne's global presence has not compromised the quality of products produced. Precision, passion and expertise are all cultivated within the Degrenne House.

You may or may not have the 'cheffy' skills to present home cooked creations in the most fetching way, but nevertheless the plate you use can make a difference.

Take Degrenne's 'Modulo Nature' collection of tableware for example, comprising of various sized bowls and plates in several attractive colours. Most of the pieces are finished with a soft satin relief graphic that gives a distinct look without distracting from the food.

'Modulo Nature' is an all-rounder - whether for everyday use or for entertaining. The collection features contemporary shapes for the way we eat today. Coupe plates provide more plating space for a cleaner, more attractive look. Bowls are perfect sizes for all of our culinary needs.

If you are into mixing and matching your tableware, then 'Modulo Nature' provides great opportunity for this. Each of the colours are designed to blend or contrast with each other, giving plenty of scope to design creative table settings.

Introducing Kinto 'Day Off Tumblers'

2019-05-14T05:16:00.002-07:00

Our new stock of the Kinto Day Off Tumbler is proving to be a huge success here at Plate and Bowl. It's a must have item for today's lifestyle and stylish to boot!

This functional 500ml tumbler keeps drinks cold or hot for 6 hours so is perfect for taking out on day trips or a long walk.

The rounded handle is comfy to hold which is great if you want to go out with just your drink to accompany you.

Its practical design keeps ice cubes in and allows the perfect amount of liquid out with each sip - no hot drinks spilling out too quickly - plus the cap is smooth on the mouth and you can drink from any angle, like drinking from a cup or mug.

With high quality materials, the Day Off Tumbler is built for outdoor durability. The powder coat finish prevents scratches, the 18-8 stainless steel doesn't rust easily and helps to preserve the aroma/flavour of the drink inside.

Tasteful and highly usable, we think that design conscious people will love the Day Off Tumbler.
