Together at the Table – How Food Brings People Together

It’s in those special moments – when the aroma of freshly baked bread and coffee drifts through the holiday home by the lake. The first bottle of wine is opened in the garden, while everyone cooks, seasons, and laughs together in the kitchen. Freshly prepared dishes are served, homemade lemonade is poured into beautiful cups and glasses. Old friends and new faces gather around the table, children run barefoot across the lawn – for a moment, life feels light and effortless. Sharing a meal becomes the highlight – or the beginning – of the day.

It is precisely in these moments that genuine closeness arises – while cooking, sharing, and enjoying. Food becomes a stage for stories, memories, and anecdotes. It’s about community and the feeling of being truly welcome. Gmundner Keramik captures this warm, hospitable way of life with handmade pieces that lend character to every gathering – unobtrusive, yet eye-catching. The classic ‘Navy blue flamed’ collection brings the calm, grounded spirit of Austrian table culture to life. Iconic, timeless, and familiar, it evokes memories of family holidays, Sundays at grandma’s, and the comforting feeling of being at home – no matter where you are.

The ‘Lobster’ collection brings a sense of freshness, lightness, and summer to the table. Its vibrant orange makes a statement – lively, warm, and full of joie de vivre. Perfect for long evenings on the terrace, Mediterranean dishes, and spontaneous conversations that stretch late into the night. Whether on its own or combined with other pieces, both collections reflect the value of togetherness, a mindful connection to our surroundings, and the beauty of true craftsmanship.
