At 1765 The Store, we believe great design begins at the table. The way a plate feels in your hand, the depth of its glaze, the way it frames your food; it all contributes to the story you’re telling. That’s why we’re proud to supply Dubai’s leading chefs and restaurants with the Obsession Collection, a rustic, modern series of stoneware that’s already made its way into several Michelin-starred kitchens across the city.
Here’s how to mix and match Obsession to create elevated, individual table settings.
1. Choose Your Colour Palette with Intention
From Midnight Black and Turquoise Blue to Vivid Red and calming Earth Tones, the Obsession Collection offers a spectrum of shades, each one finished with reactive glazes that produce natural variations in tone, speckling, and wash effects.
These organic differences are what make the collection so special! No two pieces are ever the same.
To make your styling stand out:
- Pair bold and neutral: Black plates next to red or turquoise bowls create a striking visual rhythm.
- Layer similar tones: Earthy hues across plates and side pans build a warm, rustic setting.
- Add a pop of colour: A single vivid item in a place setting can highlight key dishes or tasting menus.
2. Mix Shapes for a More Dynamic Table
Our Obsession isn’t just about colour – it’s about form. From organically shaped bowls and plates to embossed side dishes and mini pans, each piece helps chefs present their creations with confidence and creativity.
- For tasting menus: Mix small plates in different shapes to create an intentional, curated look.
- For sharing concepts: Play with deep bowls and wide platters that contrast in height and diameter.
- For fine dining: Stack glazes and sizes; start with a flat base and build upward with texture.
3. Match the Plate to the Food
One of the best tableware styling tips is to let the dish guide your choice.
- Modern European cuisine looks clean and elegant on deep blacks or slate tones.
- Asian or fusion dishes come alive on glazed turquoise or warm neutral hues.
- Pastries and desserts benefit from contrast – try soft beige plates with a speckled rim to frame your plating.
4. Design with Your Concept in Mind
Every restaurant concept has a mood, and the table should reflect it. Whether you’re creating something urban, coastal, or heritage-inspired, the Obsession Collection offers the flexibility to adapt.
- Casual bistros can combine pieces from different colourways for an effortless, lived-in feel.
- Minimalist counters can use one range in full for uniformity, letting the food do the talking.
- Chef’s tables or omakase experiences benefit from the quiet individuality of each handmade dish.
5. Be Bold. Make It Personal.
Mixing and matching doesn’t have to be chaotic. With Obsession, every combination feels intentional – the reactive glaze and rustic finish create cohesion even across different shapes and tones.
That’s what makes it a favourite among Dubai’s most respected culinary names. It’s artful without being overdone. Elegant without being rigid. It’s a collection that lets you express your story, your way.
