The table as a place for sharing: plates, bowls and dishes for family moments in 2026
In 2026, the table once again becomes a central place. A space for sharing, transmission and presence, where meals go beyond the simple function of nourishment.
Plates, bowls and dishes are no longer just simple supports. They contribute to the atmosphere, the rhythm of the meal and the way we gather.
Why the dishes matter as much as the meal
A well-set table doesn't strive for perfection. It conveys an intention.
Natural materials, simple shapes and handcrafted finishes create an environment conducive to conversation, long meals and memorable moments.
By 2026, the focus will be on durable pieces, chosen once and used for years.
Plates, bowls and dishes: the essential trio

The bowls

Dishes and platters
Dishes and platters occupy a central place. They encourage sharing and transform service into a collective gesture.
