Product overview

Year & Day is a direct-to-consumer tableware brand offering a unified portfolio of modern dinnerware, flatware, linens, glassware, and kitchen essentials. The product line centers on ceramics manufactured in Portugal using a single-firing process with semi-matte and glossy glaze finishes, complemented by 18/10 stainless steel flatware made in Portugal with five finish options. The outdoor collection uses plant-based, plastic-free materials (plant starches and bamboo) that are biodegradable. Linens are made from 100% European flax and certified OEKO-TEX Standard 100. The core ceramic sets (The Core Set, The Stocked Set, The Glossy Core Set, The Splatter Core Set, The Outdoor Core Set) provide foundational table settings, while expansion products include serving pieces, individual plates/bowls/mugs, flatware sets, linens, glassware, and kitchen accessories. Customers can purchase pre-configured bundles or build custom bundles via the Bundle Builder tool for 10% savings. All products are designed for durability with dishwasher, microwave, and oven safety. The company holds California AB1200 compliance as verified through external documentation.
