VAHLO Serving Platter by Sebastian Herkner for blomus

VAHLO Serving Platter by Sebastian Herkner for blomus — A rectangular stoneware serving platter with rounded corners, nearly 12 inches long, for meats, cheese and snacks.

Part of VAHLO, Sebastian Herkner’s rounded-square stoneware tableware for the German design house blomus.

The Design Story

The platter is VAHLO stretched into a rectangle, so it lines up with the square plates and bowls and still keeps every corner soft. Herkner, one of Germany’s most celebrated designers (Maison&Objet Designer of the Year 2019, EDIDA Designer of the Year 2021), is drawn to materials, color and texture. VAHLO is his everyday tableware for blomus.

VAHLO takes the plate and the bowl and softens them into rounded squares, then finishes them in a glossy reactive glaze that freckles and shifts in the kiln. The result is tableware that feels relaxed and architectural at the same time, in two quiet colors: creamy Moonbeam and pale, green-tinged Mirage Grey.

Why You’ll Love It

Long and narrow, it fits down the middle of a table where a round platter would not. It goes from oven-warm vegetables to a cheese course to the dishwasher.

Made for Real Life

Dishwasher and microwave safe, according to blomus. Reactive glazing means every piece carries its own freckles and shading; no two are identical. Pairs well with the sharing bowls, soft-square plates and cappuccino cups.

Where It Shines

It looks at home down the middle of a dinner table, holding cheese at an apéritif, carrying sushi at a dinner party, or as a tray for candles.

Questions We Hear Most

Is the VAHLO platter good for a cheese board?

Yes, its long shape and low rim suit cheese, crackers and fruit.

Where does the VAHLO platter fit on a table?

Down the center of a rectangular table, where it leaves room for plates on both sides.

What goes with the VAHLO platter?

VAHLO plates and sharing bowls in the same or the contrasting color.

Why does the VAHLO serving platter have rounded corners?

Herkner gave the whole collection a soft, rounded-square outline, so it reads modern but never sharp and sets VAHLO apart from round dinnerware.

Which interiors suit the VAHLO serving platter?

Minimalist, Scandinavian, Japandi and warm contemporary kitchens, and any table built around natural, muted tones.

When will my VAHLO serving platter leave the warehouse?

In-stock orders usually leave within 2–3 business days.

Why We Love It

Soft corners, glossy glaze, everyday strength: VAHLO makes a simple meal look composed. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
