the limitless possibilities of bespoke tableware.
“The experience I want for each and every one of my guests…” begins Chef James Won, “… is that every single plate is made for them. No plate is the same, from the tableware itself to the way the food has been plated on it. The interaction between each diner and my food is defined by the tableware, so the platform or the canvas is crucial.”
It is Won’s exacting standards and a canny knack for knowing exactly what he wants which won acclaim for his daring culinary feats. The same determined precision has also led him to open his new restaurant, Enfin – which officially launches January 8, 2016 – which features an entirely exclusive range of bespoke tableware crafted by Singapore-owned fine china creators, Luzerne.
“We share the same philosophy in terms of the art of dining – it’s a total experience, with a lot of emotional connections, and we see that in Chef James Won,” says Elaine Lek, Head of Luzerne’s Global Brand Team. “He’s so passionate in his craft, and it makes a lot of sense to work with someone with the same synergy.”
While diners at Enfin will have the opportunity of experience the power-packed combination of Won’s cooking and Luzerne’s tableware for themselves, this is only the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Their next collaboration will take them in the direction of creating a bespoke dish and plate for Krug Champagne’s Krug & Egg pairing – a challenge which, doubtless, they’ll take to the table with pride.
