Coton Colors by Laura Johnson has launched its brand-new Fundamentals Collection that features an array of designs, colors, and textures to bring a foundational element to your everyday dinnerware. Accompanied by Coton Colors’ signature ruffle design, this new collection acts as the building blocks for everyday living and entertaining.

“I designed our new Fundamentals Collection to be an extensive offering of “go-with-everything" pieces to layer texture and color in any table or home. Our signature ruffle edge is an unexpected feature for classic Acacia wood while the striking color assortment offers a dozen new ways to design your table,” said Kyle Johnson Smith, Coton Colors Creative Director in a press release.

The Acacia Wood material is a noteworthy mention of this new collection as it is also a new material that Coton Colors has introduced into their line. Acacia wood is a durable design that adds a sustainable element to your table.

The natural variations in the wood add a textural component to layer perfectly alongside their signature collections. If you have been hesitant to invest in breakable, ceramic pieces but are obsessed with the Coton Colors classic ruffle design, then this collection is for you.

In addition to the natural Acacia wood dinnerware designs, this new collection also features embroidered linens to complete your tableware collections. Featuring handstitched details and a cotton-linen blend that gets softer with every wash, each linen design brings a unique look to your home.

Make the look complete with a set of Fundamental Wood Appetizer utensils that are hand-crafted from Acacia wood. Available as a spoon, fork, or spreader, each design can be paired with a serveware piece to create the perfect appetizer spread.

Each design features an array of colors and textures to serve as a foundational piece for entertaining and everyday living.

Coton Colors by Laura Johnson is a celebratory brand taking their cue from the lifestyle and interests of their Founding Artist and CEO, Laura Johnson and her family. Founded in 1989 in Tallahassee, Laura created the first Coton Colors products after being inspired by her young daughters as well as her passion for cooking, entertaining and creating – most often items she wanted that did not exist in the marketplace. Family and friends saw those early designs and loved them, encouraging the artist to make more.

Fast forward to today - that family foundation can be seen in all aspects of the brand, from the large number of family members adeptly filling many working positions and the crew members who quickly become honorary family members. Their commitment to family extends in our company's giving back efforts, centered around our long-standing partnership with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®, its patients, and their families.

All Coton Colors products continue to be inspired by the ever-growing family's celebrations, traditions, travels, and milestones. They are artfully designed by our talented in-house design team, led by Laura and her daughter Kyle, who hand draw all patterns, select unique color ranges, and create exclusive shapes on which to apply the patterns.

The finished designs range from every day and seasonal dishes and décor to home accessories, journals, and gift wrap. Available in over 3,000 stores worldwide, including our own experiential Flagship Stores, they are highly collectable and coveted pieces, inspiring all to live out Laura's motto - “never miss an opportunity to celebrate every day."
