Aside from the choosing right menu for celebrations, it is important to serve family and friends using the right dinnerware.

One brand dares say that its products can withstand constant use, and still look stylish on the table. Its long-standing experience and extraordinary tradition of quality renowned worldwide has allowed the Bormioli Rocco Group to operate in over 100 countries today.

Bormioli Rocco’s first glassware factory dates back to 1825, but historians say the origins of Bormioli Rocco glass can be traced back to the Middle Ages. Thanks to the ability of uniting the ancient wisdom and passion of master glassmakers with modern industrial processes, the Bormioli Rocco Group has grown to be a market leader in consumer and commercial glassware both in Italian and global markets.

Among its many products, the Opal line is one of the most popular. It boasts of the look and feel of fine dinnerware without creating much of a dent in the pocket, and carries with it the convenience of durable dishwasher-safe materials. The Opal glass produced by Bormioli Rocco is tempered. The tempering process provides excellent resistance to heat shock, allowing it to withstand brusque surface temperature variations without breaking. It is also five to six times more resistant to impact than normal glass and withstands constant use brilliantly — up to 10 times more than calcium sodium glass. The components and production techniques used guarantee the lightness, makes the products simple to handle, easy to stack and saves shelf space. The Opal line is also extremely hygienic due to a non-porous surface.

At a glance, Opal doesn’t seem like glass. The chemical components used to produce Opal give it a distinctive, inimitable whiteness. The translucent surface of this state-of-the-art glass allows for the perfect application of color decoration. Its gloss will not alter over time, it is guaranteed to stand up to everyday use without losing intensity. The Opal line features various designs to cater to different tastes.

The Toledo, meanwhile, is simplicity at its finest — plain and round, it can easily be mixed and matched with what’s on the cupboard. The Performa is a classic, also round, but a bit thicker and boasts of a rim. It is a favorite in charming bistros throughout Europe. The Ebro series lends refinement to any setting with its dainty edges. The Triade exudes ingenious simplicity with its soft, triangular shapes. This modern elegance addresses the clamor for current trends. The square-shaped Parma series offers unmistakable individuality while maintaining comfortable handling. Every Bormioli Rocco item is a product of style and cutting-edge technology made to enhance any dining table and ensure that each dining experience is a pleasure.
