The story behind it:
In 2006, the Frenchwoman Laetitia Charachon founded the small but fine label “Planane” in the historic “French Consession” of Shanghai. The name comes from the many original French plane trees that were brought to Shanghai in the 19th century and still today shade the small streets in the center of Shanghai. While the plane trees were the inspiration for the name, the charming fusion spirit of the district is the inspiration for the homeware collection by Platane: traditional Chinese craftsmanship combined with international design.
Included from the start is the “Flowery” tableware, which immortalizes Chinese/Japanese symbols on hot-fired ceramic. It comes in three colors (blue, red and green): the fish stands for wealth; the peony is considered an omen of happiness and a symbol of love; The plum blossom symbolizes bravery and steadfastness, as the plum and cherry blossoms are the first to defy the winter and bloom.
Platane has been part of the French Fremaux Delorme group since 2016 and is managed there as a subsidiary brand for tableware and accessories.
