restaurants worldwide now available for sale through Williams-Sonoma
Williams-Sonoma and leading tableware designer and developer Fortessa
Tableware Solutions have introduced a new product collaboration called
the Restaurant Collection. The Williams-Sonoma
Restaurant Collection includes three dinnerware and four flatware
collections from Fortessa and eight glassware collections from Fortessa
affiliated glassware maker Schott Zwiesel. Fortessa and Schott Zwiesel
products set the standard for elegant simplicity, limitless versatility
and enduring strength and they are the choice tableware solutions of
five-star hotels and fine restaurants worldwide. Several of the items
available in Williams-Sonoma’s new Restaurant Collection are currently
in use by Fairmont Hotel properties in North America. Guests at these
properties will be exposed to on-site marketing that promotes the
availability of these items at Williams-Sonoma.
Janet Hayes, President of Williams-Sonoma, comments, “We are excited to
offer our customers the opportunity to purchase restaurant quality
products that are as beautiful as they are durable.” All products in the
Restaurant Collection are chip, scratch, stain and break resistant,
dishwasher safe and revered by chefs, hotels and sommeliers. They are
ideal for everyday use as well as for entertaining and special
occasions. The Restaurant Collection is now available exclusively in
stores and online at www.williams-sonoma.com.
“We are delighted to partner with Williams-Sonoma on this exciting
initiative,” says Scott Hamberger, co-founder and CEO of Fortessa
Tableware Solutions. “Now cooks everywhere can be inspired by the
opportunity to use our professional quality tableware in their own
homes.”
