TOYAMA, Japan -- When the then director of an elite French restaurant saw some tableware at an exhibition in 2014, he fell in love. His boss, globally renowned chef Alain Ducasse, felt the same -- and now those objects grace their restaurant tables.
What caught the eye of Ducasse and his staff were pieces made of 100% pure Japanese tin -- "unique" objects with a softness about them and great artistic skill, according to Olivier Guenot, the director in charge of tableware for Ducasse restaurants.
