The codes have changed. Everyone is free to do as they see fit.
Vincent Somlyo, director ofToulouse options comes to talk to us about trends. Fashion and Instagram give the impetus to the colors of our tables. More and more eco-responsible, individuals reuse their cutlery and plates, forgetting a little about disposable items. The life cycle of a product or the reuse of materials become important selection criteria. Before this collective awareness, Maison Options built an offer in which 90% of the products are manufactured in France or in Europe. Renting tableware remains much more ecological than the use of disposable material even if it is advertised as recyclable. In fact, reuse does not generate waste and consumes much less energy than manufacturing. The washing tunnels avoid the drudgery of dishes for our customers and are above all much more efficient than domestic appliances!
For individuals, the “vintage”, “bohemian-chic” tables demanded in recent seasons are evolving with the return of more natural items such as sandstone, wood, linen topping and more mineral shades. With an ever-expanding offer, everyone can create a unique table tailored to the event. From very minimalist to more colorful or even by taking up the codes of “the art of French dresser”.
