Set the table in style with modern plates from Rosenthal

Whether it’s Sunday breakfast, a convivial brunch with friends or a multi-course dinner – the plate is a central part of every meal. This makes choosing the right shape for serving food all the more important.

But which plate is best suited to which occasion? The most important factor is, above all, what dishes are being served. Flat plates are ideal for classic main courses and ensure an attractive presentation on the laid table. Deep plates offer more space for dishes with sauces, soups or pasta and prevent liquids from spilling over the edge. Small plates are extremely versatile: they are suitable for small dishes, snacks and starters, as well as for use as cake or dessert plates. This means you can choose the right plate for every dish – functional, stylish and perfectly suited to the occasion.

Modern plates in various shades offer you a wide range of possibilities for creating exciting contrasts on your table. The Rosenthal tableware collections are designed to be flexibly combined with one another. The Rosenthal Mesh collection by Spanish designer Gemma Bernal is particularly well suited to this, combining soft and angular shapes with a mesh-like grooved pattern, giving it a very modern look. The individual pieces of tableware, including the plates in the collection, are available in various earth tones inspired by the Spanish countryside, such as Rosenthal Mesh Aqua, which is reminiscent of the turquoise-blue ocean, or Mesh Mountain, which shimmers in an exciting grey-brown hue like the mountain landscape of the Pyrenees.

An exciting mix is also created with the muted tones of the Rosenthal Profi Casual tableware collection, resulting in a casual, relaxed look with holiday flair. The plates in the collection are characterised by a hand-painted chestnut-coloured striped rim, which gives them a unique touch. The pastel shades of this collection have a particularly fresh and light feel and are versatile enough to be combined with one another.

Another exciting option is the combination of tableware pieces from the Rosenthal Kumi collection. The design of the plates and other items is inspired by woven fabrics, which is reflected in a delicate woven pattern on the rim of the plates. The finish is glossy – it is precisely this contrast between the handmade look and modernity that makes the tableware so special. The colour palette in the Kumi collection is also characterised by soft pastel shades in blue, mint and rose, which can be combined beautifully with one another or with the neutral Kumi White design, creating a soothing atmosphere.

Stoneware is a ceramic material made from clay, quartz and feldspar. It is fired at high temperatures, resulting in a dense, durable material. Unlike porcelain, stoneware has a less smooth surface and often features fine speckles and “smoky” colour tones. This rustic character brings a warm atmosphere to your table and looks particularly cool and modern.

The plates in the Rosenthal Bloom collection combine an exciting Asian touch with modern design. The porcelain tableware was inspired by flowing, organic floral shapes. What makes the collection special are the raw, earthy colour schemes, which create a perfect symbiosis of nature and design. Some plates and bowls are reminiscent of delicate flower buds. With the modern plates from the Bloom collection, you can bring the beauty of Far Eastern nature to your dining table at home.

Rosenthal’s modern plates are available both as individual pieces and in coordinated tableware sets. This allows you to select exactly the right tableware – depending on whether you wish to add individual plates or put together a complete service.

The plate sets include various combinations of plates and provide a clear foundation for a harmoniously laid table. At the same time, the individual collections can be flexibly expanded and combined with additional tableware items such as bowls, cups or serving platters. Discover, for example, the modern coffee cups from Rosenthal. This variety opens up virtually limitless possibilities for you to put together your dream tableware set.
