eing the namesake of its founder Marie
Ondine Guerlain, and with Ondine
meaning ‘we dine’ in French, it seems
sheer kismet for Marie to give life to
the Ondine cookware concept. What was it that
actually spawned Marie Guerlain to establish
Ondine cookware?
Born out of passion for food in all of its manifestations,
the brand is the epitome of luxury lifestyle, filling a
gap in the market for cookware combining the art of
cooking and the aspiration for aesthetical homeware.
Marie’s genuine affinity with food is deep-rooted in her
French upbringing. It was there that
Marie became familiar with the integral part that the
kitchen plays in the family life, learning skills that would
shape her own lifestyle in later years. “La cuisine”
continues to be at the heart of Marie’s home, and this
is where her journey to Ondine truly began.
However, Marie’s vision for Ondine does not simply
end in the kitchen. Her desire is to alter the perception
of cookware entirely-transforming it from being purely
functional, to becoming an integral part of the dining
experience.
O
ndine’s signature is the use of
high-grade titanium stainless
steel. Share with us the gravity
of this in a luxury cookware.
Unlike regular stainless steel, 316Ti titanium
grade stainless steel has a unique quality that
prevents leaching of potentially harmful
chemicals into your cooking. It is also non-
corrosive and resistant to pitting, which can result
from salt residue. Less oil is required to cook, and
the surface is easier to clean.
