The best tableware is the one that gets used. Not just when guests come round, but also on a quiet morning, for a quick lunch, or on an evening when the food is placed in the middle of the table and shared.
The Eat-On-Bornholm tableware range is designed as a system that you can customise. The base plates hold the pieces together, whilst the plates and bowls can be swapped out depending on the meal, the season and the look you’re after.
For breakfast, you can The Helle Bowl can be used for yoghurt, porridge or fruit, whilst a smaller plate provides space for bread, cheese or something sweet on the side.
A meal doesn’t have to be elaborate to feel inviting. When just a few elements come together naturally, even an everyday breakfast feels more peaceful and mindful.

At dinner, granite, wood, glass and ceramics can create different atmospheres on the same table. A larger platter can hold the main course, whilst smaller platters and bowls provide space for side dishes.
You can keep the look simple with just a few colours, or let different glazes and materials come together. There isn’t just one ‘right’ combination. It is precisely the choices you make yourself that give it a personal touch.
The set can be expanded to accommodate guests. Several plates can be joined together, and the bowls can be arranged so that everyone can reach them. This makes it easy to start serving in the kitchen and let the meal unfold at the table.
At the same time, you can repurpose the same items in new ways. A breakfast bowl becomes a salad bowl, a small glass plate becomes a cheese board, and a serving board can be used to present some sweet treats to go with your coffee.
You don’t need to put the whole set together in one go. Start with the base plate, the plates and the bowls you’ll use most often. Later on, you can add a new colour, a different material or an extra size.
That way, the table setting isn’t a fixed formula, but something that can adapt to your meals and your life around the table.
