With its new Purity collection, BAUSCHER, a brand of BHS tabletop AG, is presenting a new class of porcelain at this year’s Internorga in Hamburg. Thanks to the revolutionary new material Noble China and the timeless, clear shape, Purity sets impressive new standards for table settings in first class addresses around the world. “With Purity, we have reinvented porcelain anew,” says Marketing Director Manuela Küfner. “Ever since its founding in 1881, BAUSCHER has been driven by the ambition to continually improve what is already good. That is also the case with the newly developed hard porcelain Noble China, a genuine in-novation. A remarkably delicate body, the subtle exclusive “Bonewhite” color, and an extraordinary impact-resistant edge and surface hardness – all in perfect harmony with the classic, low-key aesthetic of the Purity design. This makes the highly elegant, fine collection ideally tailored for use in top restaurants and hotels.” Noble China: the discovery of a new material With Purity, the graceful delicateness of the material Noble China together with its characteristic, soft Bonewhite color makes the subtle difference. Thanks to the use of the highest quality materials, the outstanding characteris-tics of the innovative hard porcelain are impressive: Fired at 1,400 °C, Noble China meets the highest demands for durability. Thus, at the same time delicate and robust, the Purity collection is ideal for the daily demands of the hotel and restaurant business and combines graceful appearance with a chip-resistant edge that sets new standards – as one might expect, 100 percent BAUSCHER quality “Made in Germany”. Modern classic with expressive accents In Purity, designer Andreas Weber relies fully on confident understatement in the formal design: Clean basic shapes such as circles and ovals meet flowing gentle lines. While plates and platters fit comfortably into any dining atmosphere, due to their balanced proportions, expressive design elements set a counterpoint – for example, the aesthetically curved sauceboats or the delicate, circular knobs on the lids for bowls. With its austere sensual pleasure and filigree body, Purity provides the ideal stage for presenting the widest variety of modern international food concepts. The understated elegance of the collection unfurls in the undecorated porcelain items just as impressively as in the finely drawn decorations in the proven BAUSCHER in-glaze technique, underscoring the design details of Purity, for example through fine wicker-like patterns or natural leafy tendrils. Along with the extraordinary design, the focus of Purity is on the compatibility and versatility of the individual porcelain pieces: Thanks to the sophisticated compatibility of many items, round plates, oval platters and bowls in a variety of versions always combine together in a multitude of ways, constantly creating new delights and ensembles. “Contemporary sensuousness”: Designer Andreas Weber describes Purity this way: “The shape of Purity is inspired by the interior design of first-class international hotels and restaurants – from extravagant to classic modern. The focus is on the question, ‘How can a porcelain service visually reflect such interiors in a strong and yet subtle way?’ “ “The result: an exciting combination of clear, basic geometric shapes with elegantly curved lines. This pure, stylish design unites modern and classic aspects in a contemporary sensuousness. Generous dimensions and finely balanced proportions exude premium quality and a certain understatement. The principle of versatility also played an important role in the development of Purity right from the beginning: The goal was to be able to use the individual porcelain pieces in a variety of different dining concepts.”

Bauscher’s new ENJOY range now includes plates with narrow rims in four sizes and new soup bowls, providing restaurateurs with even more options for presenting their culinary creations in a highly individual and versatile way. Bauscher will also introduce “ENJOY COLORS”, five new decorating ideas that show the variety of the collection. Since its launch in 2010, ENJOY has been very popular with hotels and restaurants as well as professional caterers. The collection’s design, inspired by the natural curves of a delicate necklace, has been nominated for the 2013 German Design Award. While the existing plates from Bauscher's original ENJOY collection, with their elegant, wide rims, are a real eye-catcher, the appeal of the new narrow-rimmed plates is their especially large surface area, making them the perfect addition to the ENJOY range and offers a wide variety of options for food presentation. Bauscher is demonstrating the versatility of the ENJOY collection with five new décor innovations. ENJOY COLORS new decors allow something for every restaurant menu and ambiance: • The fine lines of the Effects design produce a three-dimensional impression, blending into the rim and underlining its soft curve in the third dimension. • The mosaic-like Country Style décor opens up different gastronomic backdrops depending on the color scheme. Red, for example, suits the contemporary country house style, while gray conveys understated elegance. • Fancy brings a sophisticated highlight to any table setting. The grainy, mesh-like pattern produces a deceptively realistic effect that evokes high- quality leather. • The floral pattern of Modern Romance has a loosely scattered effect. The interplay of the colors lends the stylized flower pattern, with its silhouette-style blooms, a special charm – ideal for cuisine that is inventive and light. • With its vibrant and contemporary hues, the Block Colors range reawakens the pleasure of dining. Whether used for flamboyant individual pieces, or in combination with different shades or patterns, this intensive color range brings great vitality to the table. It’s been a busy year for the folks at Bauscher USA. The company now distributes five brands of commercial tabletop products: Bauscher, HEPP, Tafelstern, WMF, and Luigi Bormioli. These five brands are an ideal match through their category expertise and European roots. All five brands have a long history of cooperation in the global market, and this natural union allows for a comprehensive tabletop solution. Needless to say, Bauscher USA is now the source for the complete hospitality tabletop.
