Designed to elevate food presentation across restaurants, hotels, and casual dining spaces, this collection merges raw, handcrafted character with practical durability to meet the demands of modern hospitality.

The Nami Dune collection is part of Playground’s wider stoneware family, known for pushing creative boundaries with artisan-style finishes. The term “Nami” translates to “wave” in Japanese, and this influence is clearly seen in the range’s gently undulating forms and tactile, ridged surfaces. The soft, sandy hue of Nami Dune reflects the natural world, conjuring images of windswept beaches and desert landscapes—a perfect neutral base to enhance colourful, vibrant food plating.

Organic Aesthetics with a Handcrafted Feel

Each piece in the Playground Nami Dune collection is uniquely reactive glazed, meaning no two items are exactly alike. The subtle variations in colour and finish lend an artisanal quality to every bowl and plate, helping operators create visually striking table settings that stand out.

This makes Nami Dune ideal for contemporary dining concepts, chef-led establishments, and those aiming for an “earth to table” presentation style. Whether it’s used for rustic starters, small plates, desserts, or mains, the textured finish and natural palette ensure a refined yet informal dining experience.

Built for Hospitality Performance

Beyond the aesthetic, Nami Dune stoneware delivers the strength and resilience required by busy commercial kitchens. Each item is designed to withstand the rigours of everyday service, being dishwasher safe, microwave safe, and highly resistant to scratching and chipping.

The collection’s thoughtfully designed sizes and shapes provide chefs with versatility in plating—from shallow plates perfect for sharing dishes to deep bowls suited for curries, salads, and pasta. The slightly irregular edges give the feel of handmade ceramics, while maintaining practicality for hospitality storage needs.

Sustainability and Style

As sustainability becomes a growing focus in hospitality, the Playground brand champions conscious design and long-lasting quality. Nami Dune is crafted to reduce replacement frequency through its robust build and timeless aesthetic—reducing waste while maintaining a fresh, on-trend look for the tabletop.

This makes it a smart investment for restaurants, gastropubs, cafés, and boutique hotels looking to align their tableware with their environmental values, without compromising on style or impact.
