Germany’s SCHÖNWALD, long a leader in providing great quality porcelain dinnerware designs to the hospitality industry has again raised the bar with its newest collection - ALLURE. Once again, SCHÖNWALD captivates with an impressive trinity: the elegance of extraordinary design, a delicate – yet very durable - body, and the sublimely soft BoneWhite color of the innovative hard porcelain body, Noble China. With ALLURE from SCHÖNWALD, the sophistication of exquisite dishes is perfectly reflected in the exceptional refined elegance of the collection, qualities that are further enhanced by the five new décor ideas for ALLURE that SCHÖNWALD presented at recent Internorga Show in Hamburg for the first time. ÉTERNITÉ: Delicate lines in anthracite - With its delicate anthracite-grey lines, the ÉTERNITÉ décor emphasizes the extraordinary filigree nature of the Noble China body and ALLURE’s faceting in an elegant, pure way. At the same time, combined with the warm shade of Bone-White body color, the classic line decoration on the faceted shape produces a superbly modern and smart look. EN VOGUE: A modern spin on gold - The precious metal décor EN VOGUE is truly contemporary and its beautifully composed gold spangling offers an ultra-opulent stage for food presentation. The gold speckles have a charming airiness, applied in differing degrees of intensity.
Since 1879, SCHÖNWALD has been an innovator in great design and quality of porcelain dinnerware. And, as of January of this year, the company has an agreement with Libbey to be its exclusive representative to the hospitality market in North America.
