Outdoor dining Deserves Better
Outdoor entertaining should be relaxed and joyful, and your beautifully prepared dishes - insect-free. But in an effort to keep bugs out, dishes often end up hidden under ill-fitting covers, with no easy access to the food.
Our solution: a cover thoughtfully designed to adjust to your favourite serveware, with easy access to the food underneath. Made from natural, plastic-free materials, it's built to last. Durable, easy to store, and designed with style in mind.
We believe beauty and utility should go hand in hand, making outdoor entertaining easier and more enjoyable.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.
We use Osmo Polyx Oil to provide a water and stain resistant finish to the timber. A soft damp cloth is all thats needed to keep your frame in top shape.
The unglazed stoneware joinery is moisturised with a little Gilly's liquid beeswax to create a less porous, colour rich satin finish. If you want to maintain this look reapply as needed
Do not submerge the frame in water or place in the dishwasher
Linen cover should be hand washed only. Gently squeeze to release excess water after washing. Iron whilst still damp if needed

What Our Customers Are Saying
FRAME_00A - ASH BLACK & LINEN COVERI've been really impressed with this Platonika food cover. It's lightweight yet sturdy, and it does a great job of keeping flies, insects, and dust away from food when dining outdoors or leaving dishes out in the kitchen. The beautiful material allows air to circulate so food doesn't sweat or go soggy. I also love how easy it is to use — it simply pops open and folds down neatly for storage. The size is generous and fits over plates, bowls, and serving dishes comfortably. Overall, this food cover is practical, well-made from sustainable products, and I'd definitely recommend it to everyone.
