Lunch plates in attractive designs
A lovely salad, a delicious pasta dish, or perhaps a rye bread sandwich with eggs and a sprinkling of fresh watercress. No matter what you serve for lunch, the way you serve it makes a difference. Serve it on a nice plate and your meal is guaranteed to be more inviting to both look at and eat.
At Rosendahl.com, there are many opportunities to find a lunch plate that has enough space for your food and ensures that it is presented in a suitable way. Our selection includes porcelain plates, which are available in classic white, as well as coloured and patterned designs. Most of us find food more attractive when it is presented elegantly and beautifully. With a simple lunch plate, you can serve your food in the best way possible. If, on the other hand, you want to focus on the plate rather than the food, you can also choose one of the beautiful, coloured plates from brands such as Lyngby and Kähler. There are many options on this page, and you will almost certainly find one or two plates that suit you and your needs.
Lunch plates – size does matter
Plates add style to the dinner table. This applies regardless of whether we're eating breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert. Their main task is to serve the food, but a beautiful plate also has the ability to make the food look even more delicious.
The lunch plate is smaller than the traditional dinner plate. Usually it measures between 21-23 cm, whereas the dinner plate is traditionally 27-30 cm. But why is the plate for lunch smaller, you may ask? Many of us tend to fill up the plate when we eat. If it is a large plate, we will take a large portion, whereas if it is a smaller plate, we dish up a smaller portion. If we eat out of habit until the plate is empty, then we easily end up eating more than we need and actually enjoy. This is perhaps why a dessert plate is the smallest in the dinner service, even though at Rosendahl.com we wouldn't mind it being a little bigger.
Of course, it’s nice to have a big plate when we’re served a delicious lunch, but in the long run it’s best to have a balance in how much food we eat each day. Of course, you can eat your lunch from a dinner plate. But with a lunch plate, you can be sure to not overfill it with too much food.
Rosendahl lunch plate
Are you looking for a classic lunch plate that suits your modern kitchen? Rosendahl’s iconic Grand Cru range offers several versions, where the organic design and simple design keep the focus on the food. Just notice the characteristic groove that is repeated on all the elements in this range. The different plates have a calm look for the lunch table, so you can enjoy a cosy meal with your family or on your own. The tableware also gives you the opportunity to mix and match with other ranges for a personal look.
Our lunch plate is available in several looks and designs. We have the classic white round plate that can be used for any dish. You can also choose an oval lunch plate that provides more width. An advantage of the oval plate is that you can also use it as a serving platter for meatballs, asparagus, or another delicious dish. If you prefer stoneware that is raw and rustic on the surface but has a soft design, you can find it in our selection. Stoneware adds lightness to the table, as well as both edge and character to your table setting.
Lyngby Rhombe plate
If you prefer beautiful colours, you are guaranteed to love the Rhombe range from Lyngby. In this collection, you will find pretty white porcelain plates, as well as many beautiful colour options. There are endless creative possibilities, and the colours on the plates from Lyngby Porcelæn have a deep colour saturation that evokes emotions and is enhanced by the warm tones. You can combine your white and coloured plates from Lyngby as you wish, while maintaining a coherent look on the lunch table. It is entirely up to you how you prefer to set your table.
How many should you buy?
How many plates you need is very personal. Do you live alone or have a large family? If you live alone, 4-6 plates are enough to start with. That way, you don't have to wash your dishes all the time, and you still have enough plates when you have friends or family visiting. If you have a larger family, you'll need more plates. As a starting point, it is a good idea to have around 10-12 of all plates and glasses. This way you can be sure that you also have enough when guests visit. It’s not so exciting to have to add paper plates to your beautiful table setting.
You use your plates every day, which is why it’s worth investing in a dinner service that lasts well. With a quality plate, you know that it will last a long time and will not show any signs of wear. On this page you can easily find tableware that is both beautiful and practical, and it stays the same, even if it has been in the dishwasher plenty of times.
Mix and match
When you invest in lunch plates, the design is important. The more attractive and aesthetically pleasing it is, the more likely it is that the food will look inviting. That’s why it’s worth investing in a high quality and stylish design from the start. With a plate from Rosendahl.com, you get an organic design and simple look that focuses on the food. The simple design inherent in many of our tableware sets provides a good base for lifelong table settings, and makes it easy to combine different cutlery sets and tableware pieces, to create your own unique look.
This makes it easy for you, not only to serve anything on the lunch plates, but also to combine them with other tableware pieces if you want to. For example, you could choose a dinner plate from Rosendahl, which can be used for both everyday and festive occasions. Pair it with a colourful Lyngby lunch plate if you’ve fallen in love with one of the colours. This gives you more choice when setting the table, and your table will resemble you and your personal style.
