Make every meal special with natural-style tableware . Create tables that convey calm and harmony thanks to pieces full of personality, designed to enhance the flavor of your everyday moments. At Sklum, you'll find collections that combine design, authenticity, and timeless charm.
Natural-style tableware focuses on the beauty of imperfection and the authenticity of materials. Inspired by the wabi-sabi philosophy, it values organic textures, simple forms, and a neutral color palette to transform the table into a canvas of calm and connection. Each piece, from a handcrafted ceramic plate to an acacia wood board, is designed not only to be functional but also to enrich the sensory experience of eating, bringing warmth, balance, and a timeless character.
| Part Type | Technical and Design Characteristics | Ideal for... |
|---|---|---|
| Stoneware or Ceramic Tableware | Matte finishes or reactive glazes create unique patterns. Organic shapes with irregular edges highlight the handcrafted process. | Establish the textural base of the table and enhance the presentation of the food through a neutral but characterful background. |
| Wooden Fountains and Boards | Woods such as acacia or mango, valued for their distinctive grain and warmth. Finished with natural oils that protect and nourish the material. | Serve appetizers, cheeses or bread, introducing an organic and warm counterpoint that breaks with the coldness of other materials. |
| Natural Fiber Textiles | Placemats, napkins, or table runners made of linen, organic cotton, or jute. Fabrics with a natural drape and a pleasant texture. | Add layers of texture and softness to the composition, delimit the spaces of each diner and protect the surface of the table. |
The key lies in layering textures. Start with a neutral base, such as a bare wood table or a linen tablecloth. On top of this, place jute or rattan placemats. Add ceramic plates and complete the look with cotton napkins. Introduce organic elements as a centerpiece: a dried branch, eucalyptus leaves, or small bowls of nuts. Lighting is also essential; opt for warm light and candles to create an intimate and inviting atmosphere.
Stoneware is a high-fired ceramic that is very durable and has a more rustic and porous appearance. Porcelain is thinner, lighter, and more translucent, with a more refined finish. For a natural style, stoneware is often the preferred choice due to its earthy character.
Yes, woods like acacia or olive have natural antibacterial properties. It's crucial to treat them periodically with food-grade mineral oil to keep them moisturized and seal the pores, and to wash them by hand, never in the dishwasher.
Linen is very durable. It can be machine washed on cold or warm cycles with mild detergents. Its natural wrinkles are part of its charm, so it doesn't require extensive ironing. Air drying is recommended to preserve the fibers.
Absolutely. Materials like stoneware are extremely durable and resistant to daily use and dishwashers. The key is choosing good quality pieces that combine natural aesthetics with the functionality required in a modern kitchen.
Natural-style tableware is a celebration of simplicity and raw materials. Each piece is a functional object that reconnects us with the earth and craftsmanship. Quality lies not in symmetrical perfection, but in the honesty of the material, the ergonomics of its form, and its ability to make the routine of eating a more mindful and pleasurable act.
We invite you to discover collections where ceramics, wood and linen converse with each other to create tables with soul, compositions that tell a story of authenticity and design meant to be lived in.
