Designed by celebrated chef and food writer Sophie Conran - her debut collection of kitchen and tableware, simply entitled Sophie Conran for Portmeirion.

The daughter of Sir Terence Conran, good food and good design have been important influences throughout Sophie's life, and both are major factors behind this new collection.

"As a cook you have to love your ingredients, you need to touch and feel the food you are creating, putting some of your soul into every meal. I wanted to create a range of really tactile products that would incite the same feelings"
says Sophie.
