Ornamin's core principle is simple: supportive features should be invisible. Every piece looks and feels like standard tableware while quietly making mealtimes easier. Key features hidden across the range include:
All features work intuitively for both left-handed and right-handed users with no setup required. Research into dementia-friendly dining suggests that colour contrast between plate and food can encourage better intake. Choosing a bold plate colour is one of the simplest changes a carer can make at home or in a care home setting.
Ornamin has manufactured tableware since 1955 and their products have earned both the Red Dot Design Award and the iF Product Design Award. Every item is made from BPA-free recyclable plastic that is break-resistant and quieter than porcelain in use. This makes the range practical for both home kitchens and busy care environments where porcelain would be fragile and costly to replace.
The keep warm range features double-walled construction with a fillable chamber that holds hot or cold water. This gives people who eat at a slower pace more time to finish a meal at a comfortable temperature. All Ornamin products are dishwasher safe. Microwave suitability varies across the range so check individual product listings for guidance. You can find the full Ornamin range alongside our other kitchen and dining aids for dementia.
