Trendy crockery by AKIJ Tableware
A home that is beautiful both inside and out will take care to choose art for the living room that is as stunning as the doorknobs. After all, we don’t just eat to satisfy hunger – the presentation of food is important, too. Good tableware can make a big difference when entertaining guests, but it is often overlooked in favor of more flashy items. However, this is starting to change!
The “Insta-worthy” lifestyle has taken stage, and consequently, the popularity of food photography has increased. The younger generation is now more concerned with the aesthetic appeal of both the food and the crockery. Marbled crockery sets in lighter hues with gold lines are popular, as are brightly coloured sets on a contrasting background.
There are many different types of crockery sets that can be used for informal gatherings. Some of the most popular choices include sets in speckled patterns or pottery prints in bright colours. Crockery sets in matte black are also very popular, with eye-popping half prints or even in their plain Jane glory.
Rickshaw art is a popular choice for tableware in Bangladesh. This generation of homemakers is particularly drawn to the bold designs and colors of rickshaw prints. Asymmetric crockery sets with curvy, gold-lined plates, cups, and serving dishes are another popular choice for those looking for something a little different. These sets often have an imperfect, hand-drawn look that is nonetheless appealing to many.
Traditional dinner sets in white or black, with gold borders in florals or geometric motifs, will never go out of style. They are best used for formal occasions, where they blend with the occasion and enhance it without attracting too much attention to themselves.
Shahriar Zaman from Royal Ceramics talks about their new wing in delighted tones. “We have a complete solution for all your tableware requirements – from dinner, tea, and coffee sets to decorative mugs and vases in alluring shapes and designs,” he said.
AKIJ‘s gold plating with 22 carat gold polish gives their products a refined look that sets them apart from the competition.
“We have received a lot of feedback from happy customers who love the premium feel of our products,” Zaman added.
They have a couple of mug sets coming up for Valentine’s Day and a floral collection that goes with Falgun. They also plan to bring in new dinner set collections for Ramadan and Eid, designed keeping in mind the popular foods of that time. Their products are priced between Tk 2500-8000 for their economy range and Tk 10-50,000 for their premium range.
