Alpine cuisine: Chalet charm for your table

Alpine dining thrives on the blend of naturalness and elegance. The secret lies in the interplay of materials, textures, and small details that instantly create atmosphere. With these must-haves, you can achieve the alpine tablescape—modernly interpreted and stylishly executed.

Textiles form the foundation for a harmonious setting. Linen tablecloths or high-quality placemats add structure and calm. Layering works especially well here: a neutral tablecloth topped with placemats, paired with fabric napkins. Stick to muted tones like off-white, beige, or soft greens to create warmth.

Handcrafted ceramics from Gmundner Keramik bring authenticity and character to the table. Whether plates, bowls, or mugs, bold designs act as small statements and create an exciting contrast to simple textiles. Tip: mix patterns and sizes for a relaxed yet consciously curated look.

Wooden cutting boards add rustic coziness and work perfectly as serving platters. Cheese, antipasti, or fresh bread look particularly inviting on them. Place a large board in the center of the table as a focal point, and complement it with smaller boards for side dishes.

Kitchen essentials like roasters, knives, and utensils can also become part of the arrangement instead of disappearing into the cupboard after cooking. The essentials from Käfer and Laguiole perfectly suit the alpine style, combining functionality with design.
