About

In restaurants across France, Portugal, and other parts of Europe, "couvert" refers to the table setting, the cover charge, or the small appetizers that begin a meal. Couvert makes European-inspired tableware for the modern table, drawing inspiration from this rich cultural tradition.

Our name reflects everything we love about European dining culture: the thoughtful table setting, the unhurried ritual, and the belief that beautiful objects are meant to be used daily rather than saved for special occasions. We curate glassware, flatware, and table accessories that bring the relaxed elegance of bistro culture into contemporary life.

From hand-blown glass with artisanal imperfections to flatware that channels classic French café style, each piece is selected for its ability to transform everyday dining into something worth savoring.
