The dinner table is above all else a place of community. It’s where we share our news, thoughts and feelings with our friends and family, where we come together to talk, laugh and bond, a place where good company meets good food. This joyous confluence, made all the more prominent during the recent pandemic which made eating at home essential, has been at the heart of Mateus, purveyor of soulful, hand-crafted, ceramic tableware – the brand was founded in 1993 by Teresa Mateus Lundahl out of a desire to make the dining table a more exuberant, colourful and stimulating place to gather around. Mateus’ latest collection, Stripes, which was released at the end of August, has also been designed in this spirit, combining graphic flair with romantic allure in celebration of the brand’s ebullient sensibility and mix-and-match philosophy.
