Kaleidos

Features and types

The Kaleidos catalogue is divided into three main macro-categories: plates and accessories, glasses and goblets, cake stands and trays. Each line has its own material and colour identity, so it's easy to mix different pieces or build a complete service over time.

Limoges porcelain plates

The lines Oslo e Toscana are made in white Limoges porcelain. Oslo includes flat plates (D26 cm), deep plates (D22 cm) and fruit plates (D20 cm): clean shapes, suitable for both everyday dining and a refined dinner. Toscana adds to the range an oval plate in two sizes (24 and 28 cm) and a D13 cm bowl, useful for appetisers or desserts.

The white of Limoges porcelain lends itself well to combinations with coloured glasses — for example the Windsor line — or with centrepieces and place cards for occasions such as weddings or festive dinners.

Stoneware and porcelain stoneware plates

The line Zenzero is made of porcelain stoneware and comes in a multi-purpose rectangular format 22×20 cm, available in Azzurro Anice and Beige colours. Porcelain stoneware is more robust than classic porcelain and is suitable for intensive daily use. Among the individual pieces in the catalogue are also colours such as Rosso Maranello, Tortora Gubbio, Blu Portofino e Rosa Capri, which lend themselves to composing a mixed and colourful table.

The line Mitika offers six-piece sets in Colormix version: flat plates, deep plates and fruit plates in a mix of shades, designed for those who want to bring chromatic variety to the table right away without choosing each colour individually.

Coloured glasses and goblets

The line Windsor is the most extensive in glass assortment: 250 ml glasses and 240 ml goblets available in six colours — azure, ottanio, green, blue, amber, heather — sold in sets of six pieces. It's a range with a well-defined palette that works for both everyday dining and an aperitif with friends.

The line Loira offers a set of 6 transparent goblets with 290 ml weave: a more neutral choice, suitable for those who prefer classic glass. The line Giava completes the offering with 270 ml glasses in ottanio, in sets of six.

Cake stands and trays

The line Juliet in white porcelain includes rectangular trays (35×22 cm) and square (31×31 cm), a square cake stand H14 cm and a cake plate with foot H9 cm D30 cm. These accessories pair easily with the Oslo and Toscana plates and are practical for serving at the centre of the table, desserts and buffets.

How to choose

If you're looking for a complete and coordinated plate service: the Oslo line in white Limoges porcelain is the most versatile starting point. You can complete it with the Juliet trays and cake stands, also in white, and add Windsor goblets in a colour of your choice to bring vibrancy to the table.

If you prefer robust colours and materials for everyday use: Zenzero plates in porcelain stoneware and the Mitika Colormix line in six-piece sets are the right choice. Stoneware handles daily use and repeated washing better.

For occasions such as weddings, christenings or communions: Kaleidos tableware in white Limoges porcelain pairs well with classic centrepieces and elegant place cards. If you're setting up a table for a ceremony, the white Oslo or Toscana plates leave room for any decoration choice. To complete the table you can also explore the Maxtris confetti available on L'Arcolaio: favours boxes and favour bags do the rest.

To build a colourful table without buying an entire service: the individual coloured plates (Rosso Maranello, Tortora Gubbio, Blu Portofino, Rosa Capri) and Windsor glasses in six shades allow you to mix different pieces, purchasing only what you need.

In our catalogue we have selected the Kaleidos lines for their ability to respond to different needs — from everyday dining to ceremonies — without requiring a large investment. It's a range that we see works well for those who want to refresh their table gradually, piece by piece.

FAQ

What materials does Kaleidos use for its plates?

Kaleidos mainly uses Limoges porcelain (Oslo and Toscana lines) and porcelain stoneware (Zenzero line). Products in Limoges porcelain have a finer and more compact surface; porcelain stoneware is more resistant to impacts and is recommended for intensive daily use.

Are Windsor goblets and glasses sold individually or in sets?

Windsor glasses of 250 ml and Windsor goblets of 240 ml are sold in sets of 6 pieces. Each package is in a single colour (azure, ottanio, green, blue, amber or heather): if you want to mix colours you will need to purchase different sets.

Are the Juliet cake stands and trays compatible with the Oslo and Toscana plate lines?

Yes: cake stands, trays and the Juliet cake plate are all in white porcelain, the same chromatic range as Oslo and Toscana. They pair without difficulty for a coherent table service.

Is Kaleidos suitable for ceremonial tables (wedding, communion, christening)?

The white Limoges porcelain plates from the Oslo and Toscana lines are suitable for a ceremonial table. White is neutral and coordinates with any centrepiece or decoration. For those organising an event and looking for favours or confetti as well, on L'Arcolaio you will also find the Maxtris confetti in a wide choice of flavours and colours.
