Founded in 1995 with the belief that distinctive fine bone porcelain could be designed and produced in China – the place that originally invented and defined it centuries ago – Asianera is renowned for its east-meets-west style, with the brand’s constantly evolving collections acting as unique interpretations of influences from different cultures and nature. Rather than emulating traditional forms, the Shanghai-based company set its mind on developing a specific design style and product lines that reflect an Asian vernacular within a contemporary context, and as a result its hand-painted designs are characterised by artistry and elegance. Asianera’s products can be found throughout luxury hotels and restaurants around the world, while the manufacturer also partners with hoteliers, restaurateurs and F&B managers to custom-design both patterns and shapes to meet the requirements of specific projects.
Based at Kocaeli in Turkey, where Europe meets Asia, Bonna Premium Porcelain is a specialist in providing porcelain products to the Horeca market. Established in 1981, the hospitality supplier believes that gastronomy is a total experience and the value of presentation and ambience is as important as the food and service. With a team of 400 employees, Bonna’s aim is to craft striking table settings for busy dining environments, using its strategic location to deliver collections quickly across the globe. Joining a family of ten designs in the Envisio series, the brand’s organic Vago tableware eschews traditional round and square dining sets to embrace elements of casual dining. Created specifically for the contract sector, the porcelain range forms part of Bonna’s wider ivory white collection and is offered with various personalisation details, while its free form yet stackable plates marry amicably with vibrant interior decors.
