Sustainable kitchen-to-table porcelain bakeware for Soufflé

Soufflé is a French direct-to-consumer cookware brand founded by entrepreneur Rocco Ghrenassia. Soufflé’s mission is to reinvent responsible and attractive cuisine, bringing people together through their appetite for food and fine craftsmanship.

The bakeware range comprises a rectangular lasagne dish, round pie dish and lozenge-shaped gratin dish. All share the same design language as the original cookware range. Porcelain was chosen for its inherent properties of mechanical resistance to shocks and drops as well as its thermal resistance. Porcelain is considered an ecological material, the raw materials (clay, silica and flint) are widely available and extracting them has minimum negative impact on the environment. The manufacturing of porcelain produces little waste, the raw materials can be recycled and the products themselves can be recycled at end of life.

The range is designed to be used from oven to table and a series of matching wooden boards were developed to function as trays for carrying and presenting the dishes, doubling up as tight-fitting lids to keep leftovers fresh.
