blomus MAKOTO Rectangular Serving Platter

A rectangular stoneware serving platter on a floating pedestal, ideal for sushi and savory bites.

The MAKOTO serving plate is designed by Carsten Gollnick and made in Portugal from stoneware with a matte glaze in warm Nordic tones. At 10.6" × 5.1" it is long and narrow, just right for a row of sushi, grilled vegetables, cheese or canapés, and its low pedestal lifts the food like a small stage. It is dishwasher and microwave safe.

The designer: Carsten Gollnick

Carsten Gollnick (born 1966) founded the German studio Carsten Gollnick Design in 1997. Japan has shaped his work from the start, including the Japanese principle he designs by: no object is more important than another, because even the smallest piece has a use and a meaning. His studio has designed more than 100 products and won the iF Design Award, the German Design Award and the Red Dot Design Award.

Why we carry it

We are an authorized blomus retailer and have been curating design-led pieces for the home since 2009. MAKOTO pairs clear geometry with a subtle base that makes each piece seem to float just above the table. Gollnick gave the two glazes deliberately different characters: Moonbeam looks like the landscape of the moon’s surface, while Elephant Skin is smooth and matte. blomus is a family company run by the fourth generation of the Blome family in Sundern, Germany. It began in 1921 making bicycle parts, moved into copper, brass, pewter and stainless-steel design pieces in 1961, and has worked under the blomus name since 2000.

Buy once: durability and care

Dishwasher and microwave safe, according to blomus. Each piece is unique: small variations appear during firing and give every piece its character.
