Collection: Ficus

Touch-MeL high quality melamine plates. F icus today offers a very current Pixel Art style, which reinvents the "classic" fruit decoration in a unique and original way. Pastel colours, chromatic variations capable of evoking details and nuances, come to life from the white surface of the dishes, in a delicate contrast that will certainly not go unnoticed on the table.

Cited in the Bible as in the Odyssey, sacred to the Greeks and venerated in ancient Rome (Romulus and Remus were believed to have saved themselves from the Tiber by running aground in the shade of a fig tree), the Tree of Paradise for Islam... also Buddha achieved enlightenment in the shade of a fig tree! the Ficus has always been considered the tree of gods and heroes.

In Italian popular tradition, the fig plant was considered magical and its fruits a blessing, thanks also to their nutritional power, to be consumed fresh in summer and dried during the rest of the year. A fruit which, if eaten, "benefits blood and thought", if given as a gift, benefits "word and friendship".

The color itself of the Ficus plates , then, gives serenity. The shades of turquoise and lavender blend with the green of the contours, creating a perfect match with the Memento Synth glasses. The nuance of the leaves, then, recalls Very Peri, a trendy color for 2022 inspired by the concepts of courage and restart. A color that represents the desire to dare, personal inventiveness, but which also symbolizes the fusion between real and digital life. The way in which the color trends of the digital world manifest themselves in the physical one and vice versa. Exactly like these new Touch-MeL decorations.

An icon on tables throughout Europe and a point of reference in the melamine tableware market thanks to the high quality of production and the constant search for textures and colors capable of anticipating trends, Touch-MeL thus continues its journey through the world of table and decorations, proposing something completely new. A style that winks at retro-futurism, a trend that is very popular with those who grew up between the 80s and early 90s, but also with the new generations.
