\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOur studios regularly host the most beautiful brands, each with its own story. We therefore feel honoured to be the backdrop for such fantastic photography. One example is tableware brand Mento. They were recently at The Loft for two of their collections, and because we loved the images so much, we were immediately curious to see more. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

First, of course, we'll tell you a bit about this particular tableware brand. Every meal is an opportunity to create memories and share stories, and Mento understands this like no other. Mento's tableware<\/a> is designed to make every meal a special experience, without having to be taken out only for special occasions. The collection, which includes glassware, cutlery and tableware, exudes elegance as well as durability and tranquillity. Each piece is crafted with attention to detail, so you can enjoy quality products time and time again that create an atmospheric table setting and, most importantly, stylish get-togethers, lunches and dinners.

Mento's tableware is handmade by experienced ceramicists in Portugal, who take pride in keeping the age-old art of ceramics alive. Using traditional techniques and careful finishing, each item takes on a unique, individual signature. In addition to their focus on craftsmanship, Mento strives for sustainability in all aspects of their production. They do this, for example, by selecting eco-friendly materials and plastic-free packaging.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

For their Atelier and Ra\u00edzes collection<\/a> , the brand was recently at The Loft. Here, they shot beautiful images for their latest lookbook.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCan you tell us a bit about the concept of Mento and what makes your brand unique?<\/b>
\n'Mento is a tableware platform that includes crockery, glassware and cutlery. Whatever\nyou need to set your table beautifully, you can find it at Mento! \u2018\u2019For everyday moments and lifelong memories\u2018\u2019 is what Mento tableware stands for. For a simple cup of coffee in the morning to memorable moments at the table with family and friends. We believe that special and authentic tableware contributes to these experiences'.<\/i>\n

\nWhat are your sources of inspiration for designing new products?<\/b>
\n\u2018We mainly take our inspiration from nature: think of the different natural tones, organic shapes or special textures. The Atelier collection is a line with a white coral finish, inspired by the sea and the underwater world. The Terra line from the Ra\u00edzes collection, in turn, consists of two shades of beige, with the matte part of the plate has a kind of sand texture. In addition, we think it is important to work with different colour palettes, both with cool and warm tones'.<\/i>\n

\nHow did the collaboration with Tobias Camman come about for the Mento Atelier collection? <\/b>
\n'Before the launch of the Atelier collection, we had been in contact with Tobias. We felt he fitted the Mento brand and this was mutual. Apart from the business aspect, a very informal atmosphere developed between our team and Tobias, which made the collaboration even more enjoyable. Tobias had a desire to develop an own tableware line, as he is into cooking a lot, and this is how the idea arose to start working together. It was soon clear that it had to be a collection had to be one that was suitable for both everyday cooking and catering kitchen. So we decided to stay in the white\/eggshell colour palette, though, but still add a special design to it'.<\/i>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
