Su Misura Porcelain: Rock lands, Elementi expands, and Diva makes color sing

If you love tableware that treats every dish like a small act of theatre, Su Misura’s latest catalogue delivers, beautifully hand-modelled and decorated in Italy, and intentionally unique from piece to piece. That “made by hands, not by molds” spirit is the brand’s through-line and the reason chefs keep returning to these porcelain canvases.

ROCK: minimal lines, maximum attitude

Meet ROCK, a new family that pairs clean geometry with a decidedly bold character. Each piece is handmade, designed to elevate anything from a relaxed small-plates service to a fine-dining tasting menu. Think pure material, elegant lines, and that unmistakable Su Misura edge... absolutely ROCK.

The lineup debuts with sculptural bowls and plates numbered ROCK.01–ROCK.12, many finished in a protective matt glaze, with select shapes glazed inside for contrast. In practice, that means deep, angular wells for composed courses (ROCK.01–.04), low, sleek forms for snacks or sides (ROCK.05–.09), and showpiece rounds with defined inner wells for precise saucing (ROCK.10–.12).

Why chefs will care: the collection’s sharp detailing and matt-vs-gloss play read as intentionally modern on the table, yet the palette is quiet enough to spotlight the food. It’s an easy way to update a service without shouting.

ELEMENTI: new “finishing moves” for the mise en place

Elementi has always been the toolkit that completes a setting: smart, mix-and-match components that balance function and flair. The new drop widens those options with tactile, matt-unglazed exteriors and practical, glazed interiors where it counts.

What’s new (highlights):

  • Micro-pedestals & tasting plinths: ELEM.66–ELEM.71 create levels and little stages for canapés or petits fours, small footprints, big impact.

  • Handled mini-pourers & service pieces: ELEM.72–ELEM.75 add ergonomic handles (approx. 3.5 cm), perfect for sauces, oils, or table-side finishing.

  • Compact risers & rests: ELEM.76–ELEM.82 include slim platforms and low blocks that frame a bite or support a spoon, with select items glazed inside for easy cleaning.

  • Shallow bowls & rounds with glazed wells: New codes ELEM.83–ELEM.89 and ELEM.90–ELEM.93 introduce service-friendly diameters and inner wells (7.5–12.5 cm) that keep sauces centered and textures crisp.

How to use them: sprinkle Elementi pieces across a menu for rhythm and height, one to cradle a pre-dessert, another to stage an amuse, a third to bring sauces to the foreground. The language is cohesive; the functions are intentionally varied.

DIVA: the luxury canvas, now with fresh references that make color pop

Diva remains Su Misura’s “hidden treasure” for the luxury set: a brilliant texture where raw biscuit meets crystal-clear glaze, catching light and amplifying the color of the food itself. Shapes are delicate yet confident, curves built for sensual plating and luminous sauces.

This season adds a run of new forms flagged as news, notably the deep plates with a 10 cm inner well (DIVA.41, DIVA.45, DIVA.49, DIVA.53) and coordinated flat sizes in 30.5 cm, 27 cm, 21 cm, and 15 cm (e.g., DIVA.42–DIVA.44, DIVA.46–DIVA.48, DIVA.50–DIVA.52, DIVA.54–DIVA.56). The result is a modular suite that lets you scale a tasting progression while keeping a single, glamorous silhouette across courses.

Why it feels more colorful on the table: Diva’s glossy-meets-biscuit surface acts like a lightbox for bright purées, vibrant oils, and lacquered reductions, so plating reads richer and more saturated without changing your recipes. Those new deep wells, especially, hold vivid sauces in a tight, photogenic frame.

Hand-made, chef-forward, unmistakably Italian

Across Rock, Elementi, and Diva, what doesn’t change is the craft: items are modelled and decorated by hand in Italy by experienced artisans, and small variations are considered part of each piece’s identity, not defects. That’s the emotion Su Misura wants at the table: harmony between plate and course, container and content.
