Hospitality supplies East Flanders

Creative kitchens. If you work with seasons, colour and texture, you will find plates with character at Playground, Pordamsa and Esma Dereboy. Handmade porcelain from Esma Dereboy makes every plate just a little different.

Brasseries and bistros. A solid professional porcelain foundation, such as Schönwald or Figgjo, combined with cutlery from Comas, available in dozens of collections.

Wine and cocktail bars. A wine list only shows its full potential in the right glass. Spiegelau and Nachtmann have glasses for every wine, champagne and cocktail. Browse our hospitality glassware.

A bistro often opens on a tight budget with a full menu. You do not want to buy pieces you will not use, but you do not want to run short in the first week either. These are the essentials.

Porcelain. A flat plate for mains, a deep plate for soup and stews, a small plate for bread or dessert, and coffee cups. Choose one line as your base, such as Schönwald Unlimited or Figgjo Brem. For one or two signature dishes, add a standout plate from Playground.

Cutlery. One collection for every cover, with a steak knife if you serve steak. At Comas you choose from dozens of collections, from London to Lab.

Glassware. A wine glass for red and white, a water glass and a glass for beer or an aperitif. For wine, Spiegelau Lifestyle or Festival is a good starting point.

Sharing. A serving platter from Gio Bagnara or Playground for sharing dishes and bar snacks.

On the table. A table lamp from Humble, such as the One or the Bee, turns a simple bistro table into a place where guests linger in the evening.

Start with these essentials and see after a few weeks of service what is missing. When you reorder, stay within the same collections so your table remains a whole.

A beautiful plate with the wrong cutlery looks messy. A table where everything fits feels like one whole, even if the guest cannot say why. This is how you build that table.

Start with the plate. Your cooking sets the table. If you work with rough textures and seasonal vegetables, handmade porcelain fits well, such as the Stone or Touch collection from Esma Dereboy. If you cook in a clean, classic style, choose a calm line such as Schönwald Fine Dining or Figgjo Europa.

Then choose the cutlery. Cutlery follows the plate. Sturdy handmade porcelain pairs well with a matt or warm finish, such as the BCN lines from Comas in Satin Gold, Black or Copper. A classic plate calls for a classic shape, such as Robert Welch Radford or Comas Baguette.

Finish with the glass. The glass serves your drinks list. For an ambitious wine list, choose Spiegelau Authentis or Vino grande. For long drinks and whisky, look at Nachtmann, for example Bossa nova or Highland.

Not sure? In the showroom, place a plate, a cutlery setting and a glass side by side. You will see straight away whether it works.
