blomus MAKOTO Stoneware Plates: Dinner, Dessert & Side
Couldn't load pickup availability
Matte stoneware plates on a low pedestal that makes them look as if they float, in three sizes and two glazes.
MAKOTO plates are designed by Carsten Gollnick and made in Portugal from stoneware with matte glazes in warm Nordic tones. A subtle base lifts each plate just off the table, which gives a set table a calm, almost floating look and frames the food like a showcase. Choose a 10.6" dinner plate, an 8.5" dessert plate or a 6.3" side plate, in Moonbeam or Elephant Skin. They are 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. Our advice: stack with a soft liner between plates if you keep them in a busy cupboard, to protect the matte glaze. Each piece is unique: small variations appear during firing and give every piece its character.
