What if the simplest object on your table became the trigger for a moment of mindfulness? In your establishment, ensure that the glass isn’t just a container: it should embody, prolong, and reveal the moment. In a world where 42% of people feel they spend too much time in front of a screen (ARCEP, 2025), the need to reconnect with reality, with others, and with ourselves has never been greater.

Why choose Chef&Sommelier? Not just because it’s a benchmark in the art of fine dining—it’s because it’s perfect for all your shared moments.
