Kate of Kensington 

At Winchester Christmas Market

Kate of Kensington is the creator of these totally unique and top quality marble platters and coasters bringing a vibrant pop of colour to our kitchens.

Kate creates those unique pieces you see in a Home magazine that makes a kitchen unique and glamorous. So much so that Kate's work has been featured in Country Living, Vogue, House & Garden and The Garden!  Kate takes her inspiration from the 'flora and fauna of the English Countryside' and you can see the punchy colours comes through in the wildlife Kate has painted. Kate's style can relate to all by creating aesthetically pleasing pieces that bring a classy but comfortable tone to the kitchen. The team here at A,D8 were immediately whipping out our debit cards to get our hand on these, we just love them!!

Kate creates some extraordinary pieces with high quality finishes for plenty of uses.  Each marble platter and coaster are handmade from natural marble stone with each piece having a slight variant on colour and texture giving every handmade item its own character. Kate is the full package and all processes are completed in house from the design, to the art work to product production. Every platter and coaster would suit any style of kitchen; whether you have a traditional farmhouse kitchen or a modern shaker kitchen as these platters and coasters find the perfect balance between modern art and traditional style. Kate says, 'these platters and coasters are the perfect multipurpose product, each is finished in a heat-resistant sealant which makes it highly versatile and means it can be used in a variety of ways including; cheese board, serving tray, display piece, pot stand, cake stand, place mats, food platter, coasters, bread board or a candle stand – the possibilities are endless!'
