72 the World Of Hospitality Tafelstern The new Tafelstern dream couple: the Delight collection and new material Noble China Supreme lightness: The Delight porcelain collection from Tafelstern ‘passion for table culture’ – this is the credo and figurehead of Tafelstern, the porcelain manufacturer from Selb. The manufacturer of premium porcelain delights the ambitious, international restaurant and hotel segment time and again with finest-quality hard porcelain collections, exceptional patterns and designs and unusual styles. particular importance to ethical and health concerns. With the new ‘Delight’ collection Tafelstern brings a surprise in time for the spring fairs. The new Tafelstern dream couple: the Delight collection and Noble China ‘The thin edges lend Delight a look of exceptional lightness. Our customers receive a porcelain that appears delicate, but has its own, unique resilience. This is what we wean when we use the term contemporary luxury’, says Gabriele Dettelbacher. This impression of sheer elegance is further enhanced by the BoneWhite colour. This colour shade remains constant throughout the production process and ensures that pieces from different production batches harmonise to perfection. ‘With the Delight collection, we are entering previously uncharted and extremely exciting terrain,’, says Gabriele Dettelbacher, Head of Marketing at Tafelstern. ‘Because, instead of using the familiar hard porcelain for Delight, we have chosen Noble China for the Delight collection, a completely new material that impresses in many respects’, Ms Dettelbacher continues. Delight reflects what must be the most intimate union of finest materials and uniquely expressive design. This uniqueness also impressed Claus Gromotka, Chef de Cuisine at Restaurant Murnauer Reiter: ‘Three very persuasive arguments influenced our decision to choose this particular collection: that it is made in Germany, that Delight is a new arrival on the market and its timelessly classic design.’ The innovative Noble China hard porcelain is also fired at a temperature of over 1,400°C – this process makes the glaze extremely resilient and brings the extra benefits of high cut and scratch resistance and a particularly long service life. High resistance to rim chipping is a particularly welcome feature in the everyday world of gastronomy and, despite the particularly thin edges, is extraordinarily high in pieces manufactured in Noble China. Delight is a full collection with around 52 pieces and is ideal for a wide range of occasions and uses: from fine to casual dining, for banquets or in top-of-the-market cafés. As no animal components or toxic elements such as lead or cadmium are used in the production of Noble China, it is also the first choice for users who attach Telephone: + 49 9287 73 1700 Two of the most important basic pieces are the coupe plate and the classic rimmed plate: as they offer generous space for the presentation of extravagant culinary creations, coupe plates have long since become a particular favourite of cooks. In the Delight collection, they are available in various sizes and in flat and deep versions. Website: www.tafelstern.com The beautifully curvaceous S-line of the rims of the flat, rimmed plates acts appears as a leitmotif throughout the collection. The generously-sized, deep rimmed plates offer opportunities for setting a perfect scene not only with soups and pasta. The Delight collection also has a number of special pieces in store for the presentation of trend foods and highlights of the culinary arts. They are also ideal as eye-catching accents that lend table settings a perfect finishing touch. The imaginative design of the specials call t o mind the Origami paper-folding techniques that created a furore in the worlds of fashion and interior decoration. Tafelstern now brings this trend to the table with Delight. The suggestion of ‘folding’ is repeated on both sides of the large bowl and appears on only one side of the platter and the smaller bowls. Thanks to the variety of pieces, the Tafelstern modular principle also offers ideal opportunities to mix and match within the Delight collection. The combination of the round pieces and specials is, for instance, ideal for the creation of exciting porcelain landscapes.
