The right tableware design shouldn’t steal the limelight from the meal. It should enhance it, bring it all together and create the atmosphere you want around the table. Eat-On-Bornholm combines Danish craftsmanship with inspiration from Bornholm’s natural surroundings and a modular system where you choose the materials and style yourself.
First, think about how you usually eat and serve food. Is it small shared dishes, a Danish-style lunch spread, sushi, tapas, steak or fish on a plank with accompaniments? Once you’ve identified your needs, it becomes easier to choose the base plate, inserts, bowls and colours.
You can start with a single bowl or plate and build on that later. The Balance, Harmoni and Symfoni base plates provide the framework for various combinations. ‘Balance’ measures 275 × 195 × 25 mm, whilst ‘Harmony’ and ‘Symphony’ measure 400 × 300 × 25 mm – the same size as a standard placemat. The base plates can be turned over and used as chopping boards.
The modular principle means that the final design is entirely up to you. Swap a glass top for granite, add a ceramic bowl, or choose a different type of wood. The same components can be adapted to suit different meals and seasons.
Wood should be washed by hand and treated as required with food-grade oil. Ceramics are suitable for the fridge and dishwasher, but not for the oven or freezer. Glass is for serving cold food and is dishwasher-safe, although hand washing is recommended. Granite can be used in the oven up to 250 °C, in the freezer and in the dishwasher. Always check the instructions for each individual product.
The products are made in various locations across Denmark by craftspeople using different materials and skills. The inspiration comes from Bornholm, and the granite and glass are produced on the island. The use of natural materials and handcrafted techniques means that the grain, texture, colour variations and small details vary. Consequently, each individual piece takes on its own unique character.
There isn’t just one right combination. The point is that the pieces can be reused in new contexts, so that the way the food is served reflects the meal, the season and the people you’re sharing the table with.
