Textile designer and poet William Morris once said: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful”. I couldn’t agree more! I always look for beautiful everyday objects that don’t only serve their purpose extremely well, but that I’m proud to expose.

Last week I received an enamel baking set that is both beautiful and functional. The pieces are not only great for baking, but also beautiful to put on the table. The set is one of the many beautiful objects that you can find at Comptoir des Objets, which literally translates to ‘cabinet of objects’. They have a wonderful collection of carefully selected high quality everyday objects which are not meant to be hidden away in the cupboard. I really like their selection, which has so many authentic, simple and beautifully crafted objects for the kitchen, bathroom, storage and dining table.

I used the set to prepare my own crunchy chocolate muesli and a home made bread. I loved that I could take them straight from the oven to the table for serving. The bowls are so simple and pretty that I can use them for many other things, like serving salads or holding fruits. I just know I will have this set for many years to come and can’t wait to try out some new baking recipes that will look beautiful on my table.
