Description
"Precidio leads the current revival of melamine tableware. Rather than relying on retro-patterns and shapes, designer Willa Wong (a graduate of University of Waterloo’s School of Architecture) introduces a fresh look. The Sonoma pattern features mix and match embossed dot, ribbed and grid patterns to add texture and design. Precidio, formerly known as Precision Craft, is based in Brampton, Ontario and specializes in acrylic tableware. The company produces the melamine tableware in China."
