100% CHEF RESIN APPLE CUP: CREATION AND PRODUCTION

What is the creative and production process behind 100% Chef resin products? From the 100% Chef blog:
First of all, we need the idea. We draw inspiration from everyday objects, decorations--objects that would not normally be used on a restaurant table. Thanks to this technique, we offer unique creations using a material suitable for food contact and totally safe for customers.
The creation of resin pieces is based on lost-wax casting, a sculptural process inherited from the art world.
Our artisans make an initial handmade prototype that will be the basis for the creation of a silicone mold, an extremely malleable material. This particularity allows all the details of the piece to be reproduced with great attention to detail.
At this stage, all the characteristics of size and capacity of the resin tableware are decided and adapted to the needs of the final customer. The pieces can fit together like a jigsaw puzzle, to reveal their contents like a game at the table. We can create individual pieces or pieces to be shared at the table, scenic elements or supports for buffets, catering and receptions or themed parties (sporting events, weddings, product presentations).
Resin tableware can also be a centerpiece that reveals its contents only at a specific time during the service.
Once the piece is molded, its details will be hand-painted with paint suitable for food contact, achieving a hyper-realistic effect. It is decided whether a matte or glossy finish is better for the final result.
The silicone mold is used to produce up to 24 pieces. The resulting resin sheets are painted by hand, thus finalizing a handcrafted creation process that makes each piece a true work of art.

100% CHEF RESIN APPLE CUP: HOW TO TAKE CARE OF IT

How to take care of 100% Chef resin products? From the blog itself:
Resin is a material that is very resistant to impact, chipping, and wear and tear, which is a key feature of everyday professional tableware. To preserve its color and matte or glossy finish, wash resin tableware by hand. Do not use abrasive products or sharp utensils on its surface.
Because of its composition, resin tableware should not be placed in an oven or other heat source.
