"Bistro Belle" Presents as the Latest Manifestation of the Coastal Grandmother Trend; Jonathan Adler's Latest Dinnerware Offering Aligns Accurately with the Theme
Welcome to the vibrant, carefree world of the Bistro Belle! Say goodbye to frigid minimalism and long-legged, scene-stealing crowds - this summer is all about cozy, casual chic. The Parisian-style bistro mood that's sweeping us off our feet is here to stay, but with a contemporary, fun-loving twist. And there's no better evidence of that than the eye-catching Le Dinnerware collection by the renowned designer, Jonathan Adler.
Bistro Belles don't chase after fleeting trends - they define vibes! Drawing from the effortless, nonchalant elegance of a balmy Parisian afternoon, this 70s dinner party-inspired tableware exudes a classic sophistication. Adler's collection embraces the bold, cheerful spirit of Bistro Belle, drenching it in vibrant Parisian tri-colors and retro sensibilities. The result? A joyful collection that's unashamedly expressive, and yet somehow unpretentious.
In the words of Adler himself, "Social gatherings can be a headache - sibling rivalries, parental neglect, the whole shebang." However, he assures us that there's one thing uncontroversial - a colorful table. With his collection, Adler offers a solution to the trials and tribulations of entertaining. His approach is daring but tactful, never allowing the Bistro Belle to slide back into the excessive excess of Brat.
Picture this: You're sitting at a sun-drenched table, adorned with the chic and cheerful Le Dinnerware collection. You pour yourself a glass of water from Le Glass, nibble on a fresh, buttery pastry from Le Dessert Plate, and chat idly with your friends. The flakes of croissant spill across Le Placemat - a casual detail that adds to the overall charm of this laid-back scene.
Price: $58/set of 4
Don't let the elegant French typography of the napkins fool you - they might be the unsung heroes of the table. With one simple fold over plain white plates, they add a dash of flair, transforming your setting into one that's truly exceptional.
Price: $18
This glass takes even the simplest sip of water and makes it feel extra special, with its signature stripes and cool branding. It's perfect for any season, but there's something undeniably summery about it - the way it catches the sunlight on a sun-drenched table, making even small talk feel a little more exciting.
Price: $58
If Bistro Belle were hosting, she'd serve her sides in Le Big Bowl - a stunning match for the red, blue, and white dinnerware, but just as striking on its own. Maybe accompanied by a woven charger, a subtle nod to the casual French dining that's at the heart of this trend.
Price: $65, Was: $82
Bistro Belle is charmingly independent, but she doesn't mind some company. Stack Le Bowl atop Le Petite Plate, then layer it over the larger Le Plate, with Le Mug off to the side. Lovely on their own, but even more irresistible as a set.
Price: $78/set of 4
Dive headfirst into the deep navy blue of Le Navy Placemat - a color that's equally nautical and summery. Its French prep feel is polished enough to grace a bare table, which, in true Bistro Belle fashion, is often the way: refined but not overdone.
Price: $48
Quench your thirst for a truly Bistro Belle experience with Le Pitcher - the perfect hostess gift for your very own French-girl summer. Classy yet unfussy, it's bound to inspire those coveted conversations: "Where did you get that?" But a Bistro Belle doesn't like to keep secrets.
A little like the Brat trend that came before it, Bistro Belle pulls on a cool, 90s-inspired aesthetic with a flair that feels just right for the moment. While it might not be everyone's cup of tea - its bold, graphic nature could be a bit intimidating for some - there's always the Coastal Grandmother trend to fall back on, if that's more your vibe.
