Coupe Plate – Contemporary Rimless Design with Comprehensive Sizing
The Imperial White Coupe Plate collection offers a contemporary alternative to traditional rim plates, featuring eight progressive sizes—6″, 7″, 8″, 9″, 10″, 12″, 14″, and 16″. The rimless coupe design, with gently curved edges, creates a smooth, continuous surface from center to edge, maximizing usable plating space while delivering a clean, minimalist aesthetic suited for modern culinary presentation. This versatility allows the collection to support applications ranging from bread and butter service to dramatic 16-inch centerpiece displays.
By eliminating the traditional raised rim, the uninterrupted surface enables edge-to-edge plating and refined artistic compositions. The comprehensive size range allows establishments to seamlessly match plate size to menu application, supporting small appetizers, composed entrées, generous sharing platters, and large-format presentations while maintaining a unified contemporary tabletop aesthetic. As part of the extensive Imperial White collection, these coupe plates integrate effortlessly with other pieces to create cohesive and distinctive plate programs across cuisines and dining concepts.
The eight progressive sizes provide exceptional flexibility: 6″ plates are ideal for bread and butter service and small appetizers; 7″ and 8″ sizes support appetizers, salads, and luncheon presentations; 9″ and 10″ plates accommodate standard and generous entrées; 12″ plates function well for sharing plates and contemporary charger applications; while 14″ and 16″ plates deliver impactful scale for large sharing platters, buffet service, and centerpiece displays.
Traditional Applications
The Coupe Plate collection performs seamlessly across traditional foodservice applications, including bread and butter service, appetizer and salad courses, dessert presentations, luncheon service, and standard dinner service. Larger sizes support family-style and shared dining, buffet service, and contemporary charger plate programs, allowing operators to build complete plate programs from bread plates through dinner plates and chargers with consistent design language.
Creative Applications
The rimless coupe profile also serves as an ideal foundation for contemporary and creative plating. The smooth, uninterrupted surface supports minimalist presentations, tasting menus, deconstructed dishes, sauce work, geometric plating, and composed arrangements that extend to the plate’s edge. Larger sizes lend themselves to charcuterie and cheese boards, sharing presentations, dessert showcases, and dramatic centerpiece displays, while smaller sizes enable refined small-plate and breakfast concepts. Across both traditional and innovative dining formats, the Coupe Plate collection provides a flexible platform that elevates modern presentation while remaining practical for professional service.
