Areca Palm Square Plates

Clean square lines, wild palm grain — for canapés to mains.

Square plates pressed from a single fallen areca palm sheath, each one carrying its own bark-like grain. Crisp modern edges meet warm, organic texture, in five sizes from 7.5 to 25 cm. Rigid and naturally oil-resistant, with no wax, plastic or PFAS — and home compostable in 60 to 90 days.

Frequently asked

Which size suits which course?

The 7.5 and 10 cm squares are made for canapés, amuse-bouche and petit fours; 15 cm handles starters, sides and desserts; 20 and 25 cm carry full mains. Together they set a coherent, course-by-course table.

Will they hold up to saucy or oily dishes?

Yes. The pressed areca leaf is naturally oil- and leak-resistant, so curries, dressings and warm food sit happily without seeping. There is no wax or plastic lining doing the work — it is simply the density of the leaf itself.

Can I warm food on them or chill them ahead?

Both. They are freezer-safe for plating cold canapés in advance, and microwave-safe in short bursts to take the chill off a dish. For longer reheating, transfer food to a separate vessel.

Why does each square plate look slightly different?

Every plate is heat-pressed from one naturally fallen palm sheath, so the wood-like grain, tone and markings are unique to that leaf. The square cut stays consistent, while the surface pattern is one of a kind — no two plates on your table will match exactly.
