Products featured in The Suites @ Market Square #M 7006B

October 19, 2013, CHICAGO –Designed to achieve rustic elegance, Sobremesa is a sustainable, fair trade tabletop collection that is handmade by artisans. The collection is designed by Mimi Robinson and includes wood serving pieces, ceramic dinnerware, glass and textiles.

The word “sobremesa” literally means “over the table” and captures the Spaniards’ art of savoring the conversation and company of others after a meal. Sobremesa by Greenheart launched in 2012 after Greenheart saw the need for high end, sustainable tableware that supports artisans with both a fair wage and healthy working conditions.

“We have experienced a very positive response to our products and mission since our launch,” says Mary Brooks, National Sales Manager. “We are excited to share our products with buyers at High Point for the first time.”
