[ MISE EN PLACE ]
Less is More The Italian brand Society Limonta is a symbol of refined living. On the table it enjoys investigating the opportunities offered by materials and creating essential objects that speak a language close that of nature itself by Marta Bernasconi
triking objects with a sober elegance to look at, touch and caress. With their refined, minimalist style, ceramics by Society Limonta prefer essence to appearance and blend smoothly into a contemporary luxury setting. Oltre Society - Design Collection is a sort of permanent in-house laboratory designing new objects to complete and enrich the company’s fabric range, the long-standing focus of the brand’s production. Oltre Society is a space where the internal creative team collaborates with artists and designers who share the brand’s tastes and lifestyle concept. A recent result of this work is the handmade Limoges porcelain plate collection

designed by Beatrice Rossetti, produced mainly in two lines, Onda and Buto. The objects have a strong artisanal content, where every piece bears the traces of the skilled craftspeople who have created it, giving it a unique character. This exclusive aesthetic is highlighted by neutral colours, shades of white, sablé, smoke and crab, and by coordinating the pieces with other accessories from the collection. The Cloto vase by young designer Dario Antoniali, for example, is inspired by a spool of yarn, resulting in an object with a strong shape and textural appeal. Also by Beatrice Rossetti, the large porcelain Spoon has a slightly irregular shape that is, in fact, a declaration of originality. The pleasures of making objects by hand and with great care, a table setting to experience without hurry, taking the time to savour and share the experience with fellow diners – the essence Society Limonta seeks to achieve is to approach the true pleasures of life, like sitting at table to enjoy good food, with style and simplicity. www.societylimonta.com
The Italian brand offers a complete range of tableware, including tablecloths, napkins and placemats whose fabric reinterprets the essential style embodied by the ceramic pieces
