In the Kitchen: Thomas Fuchs Melamine Dishware

I've got a kitchen full of white dishes, plain glasses, and traditional silverware. When it comes to table setting, I’ve always been more focused on colorful floral arrangements and bright bouquets of branches than on patterned plates or napkins. That may all be changing. Recently, a friend turned me onto Thomas Fuchs' new dinnerware collection. Made of eco-friendly, durable Melamine, the plates, bowls, and serving pieces come in combos of gorgeous colors that would make any meal — served indoors or out — more appetizing. I’m especially smitten with the salad serving set in ivory + navy (now on sale).
