From Wilmax, the versatile Monolith collection – with its contemporary, wide ranging aesthetic – is elevating dining experiences. HoReCa explores a range which offers endless possibilities
Well versed in creating top-tier collections for the hospitality industry, Wilmax does not hold back with Monolith, a collection offering fresh ideas for elegantly contrasting table settings.
Classic vitrified porcelain is given an update with the collection being inspired by nature’s variety of textures, timeless colourways and natural forms. The brand tells us Monolith was designed to symbolise the infinity of the universe, calmness and inviolability.
And while this all plays to the assortment’s overall appeal, where Monolith really stands apart is the variety of product choice it offers operators.
Plates are supplied in rectangular, square and round for serving aperitifs and main courses, and there is also salad bowls, serving dishes, and much more. The shape of the collection is elegant and minimalistic in keeping with latest trends, while the simplicity of lines is enriched by the collection’s natural texture, which has been achieved with a special matte glaze.
Crucially, Monolith comes in five different sub-lines. The SlateStone line imitates fashionable slate products, but is, in fact, vitrified porcelain with the look and texture of a natural stone.
WhiteStone
WhiteStone is a new interpretation of Wilmax’s time-honoured fine porcelain collection. In this new version, the white matte glaze gives porcelain the texture and look of travertine in pure white colour.
The porcelain tableware from the SandStone line is designed to echo the colour and structure of sand ripples on desert dunes.
Meanwhile, Croco resembles crocodile skin while WoodStone brings to mind the texture of reclaimed burnt wood.
Wilmax encourage venues to explore Monolith’s endless creative possibilities – different sub-lines can be used in a monochrome table setting or can be combined to create more subtle, or contrast colour combinations, for example. The collection also blends seamlessly with materials such as stainless steel, acacia wood, glass or bamboo.
Take SlateStone
Take SlateStone, in combination with Wilmax’s black cutlery it creates a perfect monochrome noir look. It also serves as a good background for bright dishes adding drama in presentation. This sub-line look is favoured by Asian restaurants, the brand tells us.
Wilamx also suggests mixing dishes from the WhiteStone and BlackStone sub-lines to give a setting an art deco touch. This, the brand says, is a contrasting combination which makes an impact with stainless steel, as well as glass accents in a table setting.
Meanwhile, table settings using SlateStone with SandStone offer a more subtle combination. Pair with acacia products and bronze coloured cutlery for the ultimate rustic design.
WhiteStone and SandStone
WhiteStone and SandStone create an elegant aesthetic, ideal when complemented with natural bamboo and glassware.
The Croco range is an accent line which adds a touch of the wild to presentations. The round porcelain plates and rectangular dishes come in two colours – black and bronze. Use it in combination with acacia or bamboo products to create a perfect natural mix, says Wilmax.
Meanwhile, the WoodStone serving dish is made of porcelain, covered with matte black glaze and has a pattern that repeats the texture of a wooden log – perfect for the original presentation of appetisers with sauces which can be placed in a special recess in the centre.
As with all Wilmax products, the Monolith collection is designed for intensive use and is suitable for both professional and home environments.
Undoubtedly, Monolith is a collection which keeps on giving – to learn more visit wilmax.uk.
