The word “sobremesa” literally means “over the table,” and captures the Spaniards’ art of savoring the conversation and company of others after a meal. For the sophisticated epicureans who eat local but think global, our high end collection of elemental, sustainable tableware was created to encompass just that. Envisioned by our skilled designer, Mimi Robinson, and handcrafted by talented artisans around the globe, Sobremesa is excited to present our complete, sustainable, tabletop line that is both ethical and elegant.
Sobremesa Collection: Fair Trade Tabletop
But our story began long before our unveiling of this collection. Sobremesa by Greenheart is based on Greenheart’s social and environmental initiative for global change. Through our social enterprise, The Greenheart Shop, we have been providing individual consumers with artisanal products since 2007. After years of retail experience, we realized there was a need for high end, sustainable tableware that supports artisans with both a fair wage and healthy working conditions. Sobremesa’s artistic array of ceramics, wood, glass and textiles from 5 countries and 9 artisan communities was created for the buyer who appreciates design with a conscience.
These are products with a story. We have a choice in how our dollars make a global impact, and consumers are aware of the power of their purchase. Sobremesa’s unique, handcrafted table collection is changing the lives of over 100 artisans and their families while adding a personal touch to the cooking and dining experience.
So pull up a chair, enjoy the beautiful, artisanal pieces of Sobremesa and feel good that you are providing a timeless collection while supporting a product that is fair to producers and good to the earth. Bring a story to the table with Sobremesa.
