Bongenre Tableware

It’s nice to see the vast improvements being made in the design of melamine (aka plastic) tableware. It wasn’t so long ago that all good design for outdoor dishes was left at the screen door.

¬†I like these designs from Bongenre. They’re designed by Jill Fenichell, who was an antique porcelain and pottery dealer for 15 years. Jill references historical patterns in her work, and likes to inspire people to look at old patterns in new ways.

Bongenre is available at Give Simple. My favorite is Wilde’s Seaside Holiday (the bright blue one). A dinner plate sells for a reasonable $12.
