Smooth as river stones.
We love a good melamine dinnerware set—it’s one of the hardest and most scratch-resistant plastics out there (plus it’s super lightweight), making it great for eating indoors and out, with grown-ups and little ones. Not only is this set from Mepal functional, it’s also gorgeous: Simple curved silhouettes take shape in blue, white and charcoal hues with organic, sandy flecks. They really do look like they could have been carved from river stones (they’re not, we promise).
