The KUMO collection by SCHÖNWALD (BHS Tableware) contains nine pieces made from finest noble china and a maple plateau in the same design.
The surface of the porcelain is partly sandblasted to recreate the same pattern on the round pieces that you can see on the amorph shaped items.
The design was created in collaboration with the Berlin-based designer Claudia Schoemig, whose signature style is clearly recognisable in the objects. The name KUMO means cloud in Japanese and indicates where the collection took its inspiration and what emotions it wants to convey. The shapes themselves are based on traditional craft techniques, which were then translated into the modern design.
KUMO is more than just tableware – its a statement. The presentation of dishes is becoming increasingly minimalist and purist, but the high standards of technique and flavour remain unchanged. KUMO embodies this contemporary vision and sets a new standard for fine dining – both in terms of design and culinary experience.
Designed for visually and culinary-demanding guests and chefs, the versatile range of items covers the entire menu from amuse-bouche to dessert, offering a harmonious interplay of round, extraordinary, and novel amorphous shapes. The matte surfaces in the collection are a unifying design element that elegantly brings together the round with the amorphous items. Continuing the complex impression of the design, the matte surfaces add a sensory effect to the dining experience, rounding out the unique collection designed in collaboration with Claudia Schoemig.
