Las Palmas: Charger Plates Inspired by 18th-Century Naturalist Expeditions

There was a time, in the heart of the 18th century, when the world suddenly seemed to open up: curious men like the renowned French botanist André Michaux and the naturalist and illustrator Pierre-Joseph Redouté set sail toward the unknown, armed with sketchbooks and watercolors. They were pioneers of science and art, capturing in images what no one in Europe had ever seen before.

The Americas revealed themselves as lands of wonder: unimaginable fruits, vividly colored flowers, whimsical animals, and shapes that looked like they were born from a dream.

From these refined illustrations comes the inspiration for Las Palmas, a new collection by La Corallina: eight exclusive charger plates that turn the table into a visual journey, full of elegance and charm. Each piece is designed to be more than just an accessory—Las Palmas charger plates become the centerpiece of the mise en place, capable of transporting guests into a distant and fascinating world.

Each item is conceived as a small work of art, evoking the awe of those first encounters with the exotic. Made from high-quality materials, durable and easy to clean, these charger plates feature rich colors and carefully crafted finishes that faithfully reproduce the nuances and details of original 18th-century botanical engravings.

Their generous diameter makes them perfect for framing dishes and tableware, adding refinement and originality to the dining experience. Las Palmas charger plates are suitable for every occasion—from formal dinners to casual gatherings—always offering a touch of class and a hint of adventure.

These charger plates are not mere decorative objects: they tell stories.
Stories of passionate explorers like Alexander von Humboldt or Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, of carts filled with fragrant fruits, of encounters between distant cultures. Stories that now come back to life on the tables of those who love to surround themselves with beauty and meaning.

La Corallina embraces and renews this legacy of wonder, offering an aesthetic and sensorial experience made of style, memory, and a passion for detail. A collection of charger plates designed for those who seek a touch of enchantment every day—the very same enchantment that once lit up the eyes of early travelers as they gazed upon the vastness of the New World.
