A vast contemporary kitchen cabinet to dip into for creating table settings that are beautiful but, above all, in-tune with those who live them. With attention to design and to the changes in how we entertain, Bitossi Home, interpreter of the Tuscan table setting, proposes a new concept: an invitation to share and combine shapes, styles and textures, to break out of the mould but keep a link with the past that transpires in the collections as a light touch of retro.

As light as the tissue paper that was once used to wrap oranges. The patterns on the plates by Sam Baron narrate our past with the sweetest nostalgia. The collection, the result of creative collaboration between the French designer and Bitossi Home, takes the opportunity to give back to the collective memory the most discrete, whispered graphics, an elegant game to turn a minor work into a small artistic masterpiece. Fish, horses, birds, flowers and colourful fruits emerge from a delicate background mesh that evokes the lightness of tissue paper. The geometry is there, but it is softened by an impalpable patina of time that leads back to an almost childlike past. And for those who like keepsakes, here are the boxes to keep your most precious ones in: small, square and invariably in porcelain.
