Ours Blanc: trays and plates that tell stories

For Amphitria, I'm always looking for brands that combine beauty, sustainability, and sincere commitment. That's exactly what I felt when I discovered Ours Blanc , a French brand that offers wooden trays made in the Jura region and melamine plates produced in Italy. These are everyday objects, but also, and above all, true vectors of culture, heritage, and craftsmanship. I wanted to share this discovery with you.

A brand born from a look at art and everyday life

Ours Blanc is above all the project of two enthusiasts: Foucaud and Mayeul , a duo sensitive to art, noble materials and what our objects tell us about us. Since 2023, they have been creating collections of illustrated trays and plates with the desire to make our daily lives more inspiring, softer, more colorful.
The name “Ours Blanc” evokes both a certain tenderness and a quiet strength. It captures the spirit of the brand: poetic without being mawkish, rooted in reality but turned towards the imagination.

A cultural illustration in each piece

What I particularly like about Ours Blanc is that each tray or plate provides a good opportunity to revisit the classics and introduce youngsters to culture through colorful illustrations. Great inventions, explorers and navigators, ancient Egypt, Notre-Dame de Paris... So many cultural anecdotes that will be beautifully illustrated!
We feel in each visual an artistic sensibility, a nod to graphic arts, painting, design, sometimes even comics. And it is this mix of references that makes each object both contemporary and timeless. These plates and trays will awaken your children's curiosity at every meal!

Melamine: a responsible choice for practical and durable plates

Ours Blanc plates are made of melamine in prestigious Italian workshops. With Ours Blanc, I learned more about this material, and I must say it has many advantages!

First, it is a lightweight material , which makes the plates very easy to handle, even for children. Second, they are extremely resistant : no breakage at the slightest fall, no deep scratches after a few trips in the dishwasher. And above all, the melamine used by Ours Blanc does not contain any controversial elements (bisphenol A, bisphenol F, bisphenol S, phthalates, lead, zinc, titanium, etc.), which guarantees safe use on a daily basis.
It's therefore a choice that is practical, sustainable and respectful of health - and that, for me, is essential when I select products for Amphitria.

Jura wood: natural, local, magnificent

The tops, for their part, are made in the Jura , from high-quality laminated wood: assembled in layers of compressed wood, exceptionally resistant to shocks and scratches, smooth finish...

But beyond the material, there is also a local and artisanal logic that speaks to me deeply: producing on a small scale, locally, by promoting the resources of the territory and human labor. These plateaus are a bit like bringing home a piece of the Jura, with its peaceful forests and its demand for quality.

Strong and sincere social commitments

Ours Blanc doesn't just do good aesthetically and environmentally. The brand is also socially involved, entrusting its logistics to the ESAT of Moulins-Yzeure, an establishment that works for the professional and social integration of people with disabilities.
These structures allow people with disabilities to have a rewarding and adapted professional activity. As a committed entrepreneur, this choice particularly touches me. It gives even more meaning to each piece sold.
Buying a Polar Bear tray means supporting a more humane, more inclusive model. And that's a form of beauty in its own right.

Why I chose Polar Bear for Amphitria

Ours Blanc embodies everything I want to defend with Amphitria:

• Beautiful, inspiring and functional objects,

• Healthy and sustainable materials,

• European, local, responsible manufacturing,

• And above all, a story behind each creation .

I hope you enjoy discovering their collections as much as I do. Whether it's to brighten up your table, offer a meaningful gift, or simply surround yourself with beautiful things every day, Ours Blanc pieces have that rare ability to blend the useful with the soul.
