We’re so excited to stock your new dinnerware range Adam Liaw Everyday by Noritake, where did the inspiration for the range come from and what is your favourite piece? If I’m to be completely honest, the Everyday range was inspired initially by me getting frustrated at trying to 昀椀t bowls into a dishwasher! I just wondered why we weren’t designing bowls that 昀椀t better in them… so then I designed one myself. It made me think more broadly about what dinnerware could be like if we adapted it – 昀椀rst and foremost – to the practicalities of modern life. We want to live more sustainably. We’re more conscious of our health. We use dishwashers, and we eat a variety of cuisines in a variety of styles. Everyday builds all of that into the design, so while the Everyday pieces might look unassuming, they perform amazingly. From stacking a dishwasher, to choosing how to set the table, to putting away and reheating leftovers – it all just works. My favourite pieces would de昀椀nitely be the medium plate and medium bowl. Rather than being in-between pieces, they’re so useful. The medium plate is great for light meals, and the medium bowl is perfect for everything from Japanese donburi to soup to breakfast cereal.
