The Line-up Presentation Plate by Serax: Graphic Design Comes to the Table

Withthe “The Line-up” presentation plate, Annebet Philips transforms the table into a true canvas for expression. Crafted from enamelled sandstone, this large white plate measuring 31 × 28 cm is brought to life by a hand-painted blue pattern with a deliberately irregular design. The design thus retains the energy of the first stroke and gives the piece an immediate graphic presence. Its generous size makes it suitable for both serving food and structuring a table setting.

Annebet Philips: Drawing Before Perfection

Based in Amsterdam, Annebet Philips creates a playful, almost cartoon-like world built on simple shapes and deliberately imperfect contours. For The Line-up, she starts with quick, hand-drawn sketches and strives to preserve their spontaneity as she translates them into Ceramic. The pattern is therefore not corrected to become perfectly uniform. On the contrary, it retains the freshness and freedom of the initial stroke.

The blue in the collection evokes the famous Delft blue, but in a decidedly contemporary interpretation. Annebet Philips retains the strong contrast between blue and white, stripping away traditional ornamentation in favor of simpler, more direct, and more expressive lines.

What is a 31 cm presentation plate used for?

Its large size is particularly well-suited for presenting a dish, a culinary arrangement, or an assortment meant to be shared. It can also be used as a placemat to highlight a smaller plate and create a layered effect on the table. Finally, its generous size allows it to serve as a decorative piece within a tableware arrangement.

How can you incorporate The Line-up plates into a table setting?

The Line-up was designed as a collection meant to be mixed and matched. This large plate can be paired with other sizes in the line to create layered effects and graphic rhythms. It also works very well with white or solid-colored tableware, which lets the blue pattern take center stage, or in a more eclectic arrangement mixing shapes and designs.

Is The Line-up plate suitable for everyday use?

Yes. Made of enamelled sandstone, it’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Its hand-painted decoration, however, retains an artisanal quality that gives each piece a slightly different character.

With its generous size and free-flowing blue pattern, this “The Line-up” presentation plate transforms the table setting into a true work of graphic art. A piece designed both to showcase dishes and to add rhythm to the table.
