With this in mind, we’ve rounded up the latest and greatest tableware set to bring something fresh to the table in 2020. Read on for our top picks and bring you menu to life today.
Character over Colour
New-wave whiteware puts a twist on the traditional
It’s a classic for good reason, giving your dishes a classy blank canvas against which to burst with colour. But pros aside, whiteware can sometimes feel a little stale - lacking in the sense of theatre modern diners are increasingly expecting. Which is where Kiln comes in. Boasting a natural, organic shape that mirrors handmade pottery, it brings a rustic, authentic feel to the tableware classic. The drip-dried rim adds the finishing touch, framing your dishes perfectly to tie them together. Who said traditional had to mean boring?

Olympia Raw: Kind on the eyes, kind to the planet
From Greta Thunberg to David Attenborough, eco-friendliness has never been so central in the public consciousness. And this swing toward environmentalism has even filtered down into the dining scene. Local produce, reusable coffee cups and much more have reshaped menus in everything from highstreet chains to independent bistros. So what better time to tap into the zeitgeist by boosting your eco-friendly image? Designed with this in mind, Olympia Raw gives you quality crockery that’s made from 80% recycled clay. Every bit as strong and stylish as traditional crockery, it’s the perfect way to bring a green twist to any table.

Classy Cups & A-la-Mode Mugs give coffee a kick
We Brits have long been a nation of tea drinkers – and in the past few decades we’ve turned our taste buds to tea’s more caffeinated cousin, coffee, too. So much so that we now swill down a staggering 95 million cups of java every day in the UK. And we show no sign of slowing either, with coffee consumption only tipped to rise. But with such a big market to draw from, and so many cafes offering bean freaks near endless spots from which to pick up their morning pick-me-up, standing out from the crowd is essential if you’re going to net your fair share of coffee lovers. Which is where tableware comes in. Serve up your expertly brewed lattes in a crystal clear latte glass and bring a touch of class to your hot drinks. Or go classic with Olympia’s Café collection and bring a little of that café chic guests love to every sip.
