101 Copenhagen Native Lunch/Dessert Plate

The Native Lunch/Dessert Plate in Birch from 101 Copenhagen represents a thoughtful approach to everyday dining, inspired by the ancient philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, which celebrates beauty in imperfection and transience. Each handcrafted piece embodies the artistry of its creation, inviting you to embrace the unique character and subtle irregularities that tell a richer story than mass-produced alternatives.

Crafted from premium stoneware, these plates are more than functional tableware—they are a tribute to the earth and those who tend to it. The hand-painted Birch colour features a bright, pale natural beige with a whisper of warmth, reflecting the gentle tone of fresh wood. Unique brush stroke variations and subtle burned spots enhance the handcrafted charm, ensuring every item is one of a kind. The matte glaze finish combines durability with refined elegance, created through a meticulous two-firing process at temperatures reaching 1,260°C.

Part of the Native Dinnerware Collection, these plates serve as a bridge to cultural and environmental roots, transforming every meal into a visually inspiring experience. Sold as a set of two, they measure 20cm in length and width with a 2cm height, making them perfectly proportioned for lunch and dessert service. The stoneware is both dishwasher-safe (up to 65°C) and microwave-safe, designed for modern living without compromising on craftsmanship. With simple care and mindful handling, these plates will develop a natural patina over time, adding depth and character with every meal shared. Designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl, they represent the perfect marriage of Danish design sensibility and Japanese aesthetic principles.
