The various sizes in plates, the vibrant colours and different patterns all evoke the typical Ottolenghi feeling of ?outrageous casualness?. Of creating tables that are informal but very abundant, eccentric even, at the same time. ?We have tried to tell the Ottolenghi story in objects. It is a story of the tension between the earthy and the sophisticated, between passion and refinement, tradition and novelty. Ostensible opposites, existing together in dynamic harmony?, Ottolenghi says.
