The Restaurants’ Sector is going through one of the most dynamic and challenging phases in its history. After decades of evolving around gastronomic quality, service efficiency and hospitality, the sector is now undergoing a real revolution, where the overall customer experience has become the center of everything.
It is no longer enough to serve well. Contemporary gastronomy is a venue where every element, from the plate to the glass, from the atmosphere of the room to the pace of service, plays an essential role in creating memories. The experience is not just gustatory; it is visual, tactile, emotional and cultural.
Within this new paradigm, tableware takes center stage. It is no longer just a support for culinary preparation and presentation, but has become an element of expression and identity. From plating to the dining room atmosphere, tableware is a canvas that gives shape to culinary creations and a structuring element of the space that welcomes customers.
At Costa Verde, we see visual performance as a fundamental pillar of quality. Each collection is designed and conceived as an extension of the personality of the professional and the concept of the business it serves. The eye precedes the palate: the first visual impact is decisive and prepares the customer for everything that will come after. This is where porcelain reveals its silent power, which convinces even before the first taste.
It is in this context that Costa Verde, based in Vagos, Portugal, has established itself as a world reference in high-quality porcelain. Combining tradition and innovation, the brand has become a strategic player in the sector, present in the most demanding international hotel and restaurant markets.
The secret? Parallel and constant research, development and design work, following and anticipating global trends. Costa Verde does not just react to what the market demands: it interprets signs, cross-references information, observes industry movements, while turning all of this into collections that respond to future needs.
It is this alignment with the major transformations in the sector that explains the brand’s success. Nowadays, we are talking about consumers seeking authenticity, chefs wanting customization, hotels valuing sustainability and a global market that is increasingly aware of aesthetics and experience.
Costa Verde responds to each of these challenges with innovation, consistency and vision.
Among the most striking examples of this philosophy is the Moods collection. More than just a product range, Moods is the translation of states of mind, attitudes and trends into unique porcelain pieces. It is the outcome of an in-depth research and development process, where technical innovation is combined with manual intervention, thus ensuring beauty, sophistication and character to each piece.
Through the use of reactive and matt glazes’ coating, as well as digital printing, the result of a long process of experimentation, Moods represents rupture, differentiation and innovation. Each piece is unique, as unique as the professional who uses it or the customer who experiences it.
Proudly produced in Portugal, at Costa Verde’s industrial unit, recognized as one of the best porcelain producers in the world, the collection has been extensively tested to withstand intensive use. Moods thus reflects the essence of Costa Verde: combining aesthetics and emotion with functionality and performance.
At Costa Verde, we usually say that “All senses matter”. This is not just a slogan; it is a holistic view of the role of porcelain across the restaurant sector.
We produce porcelain with a sense of performance that goes beyond technique. From visual impact to tactile sensations, from functional practicality to economic reasonableness, each piece is designed to be experienced and felt. By professionals, from the kitchen to the dining room, and by customers, from sight to touch, from emotion to reason.
Because, in the hotel and restaurant sector, all senses are important, thus deserving stimulation. That is why, at Costa Verde, we develop each one of them. In every sense.
The future of the restaurant sector will be marked by three major trends: sustainability, customization and experience enhancement. The future customer will be even more demanding, aware of materials’ origin, ecological footprint, value-driven design, as well as the ability to experience something truly memorable in every meal.
Porcelain will, thus, continue playing an essential role in this future. And Costa Verde will continue being at the forefront, in creating solutions that combine tradition and modernity, emotion and reason, design and performance.
In a world where the restaurant sector evolves following human expectations, Costa Verde shows that porcelain can be much more than just a medium: it can be language, it can be emotion, it can be the future.
In every sense.
