step 1: choose your risers

Steelforme® risers and chafers form the core of your presentation. Pieces nest within one another, fit in glass racks for easy storage, and have slots for multi-layer shelving.

step 2: choose your shelves

If you choose to use shelving, we have several options available.

Tempered glass: clean, contemporary look.

Gourmet boards: this flat matte presentation makes colorful food pop.

Slate melamine: imitates the look of natural slate without the weight.

Wood melamine: a natural touch, without warping.

step 3: choose your dinnerware

We have a lot of options for serving food. Here’s a quick run-down of a few of our compositions:

FORTESSA® Bone China™: the highest standards for quality, value and design.

FORTESSA® Fortaluxe®: vitrified china made with added alumina oxide to enhance durability.

FORTESSA®

TechnoCeram®: vitrified china with exceptional durability, colorful designs and interesting shapes.

FORTESSA® Glass: a lively selection of choices in various colors and textures.

step 4: choose your accents

Accent pieces are great for expressive fun and single servings. Whether it’s a petite espresso cup used for a single-serve dessert or a teeny tiny frying pan for breakfast bites, these pieces are perfect for adding unique personality to your presentation.
