'The Sorbet Collection' from Le Creuset Introduces Mini Cocottes

— May 2, 2018 — Art & Design
Le Creuset’s latest release, The Sorbet Collection, introduces a set of pots in a range of springtime pastel colors and a small-scale "mini cocotte" size. The set of ramekins can be used to serve a variety of desserts or store various kitchen essentials, which makes them ideal for entertaining.

While Le Creuset has released its full-sized classic cookware in of-the-moment colors like Millennial pink and the Pantone 2018 Color of the Year, Ultra Violet, this new range puts the spotlight on size and single servings.

In the spirit of the summer, The Sorbet Collection from Le Creuset also includes a range of pastel-colored ice cream bowls, as well as espresso mugs, bowls and matching spoons. As a whole, the collections caters to the many needs of a host when it comes to appropriately and stylishly serving one's guests.
Trend Themes
1. Single-serving Cookware - Le Creuset's miniature cocottes cater to the trend of single-serving dishes, providing a disruptive opportunity for companies to innovate in the cookware industry.
2. Pastel Kitchenware - The Sorbet Collection's pastel-colored cookware proves that pastel kitchen items are trending, leaving an opportunity for other kitchenware brands to produce similar products.
3. Entertaining Essentials - The mini cocottes' versatility as both dessert dishes and storage containers is reflective of the trend towards multi-use entertaining essentials, a market that could be potentially disruptive for home goods companies to tap into.
Industry Implications
1. Cookware Industry - The emphasis on single-servings and pastel colors in Le Creuset's Sorbet Collection presents innovative opportunities for companies in the cookware industry to produce similar products.
2. Kitchenware Industry - The popularity of pastel-colored kitchen items, as seen in The Sorbet Collection, presents an opportunity for brands in the kitchenware industry to create new lines of pastel-colored cookware and dishware.
3. Home Goods Industry - The growing trend towards multi-use and versatile entertaining essentials like Le Creuset's mini cocottes indicates a disruption opportunity for companies in the home goods industry to produce similar products to cater to the needs of the market.
