Seafood-Shaped Salvers

The Sushi to Go Plate Set was Inspired by a Popular Japanese Ingredient

— March 28, 2013 — Art & Design
For many meals, the shape of the crockery that holds it doesn't actually matter a great deal. The Sushi to Go Plate Set manifests as a collection of rather unusual forms, yet this does not detract from its functionality.

Vinnie Longo molded four separate pieces with generously high edges so that they might contain a variety of different edibles. Sushi rolls, seaweed salad, sashimi, tempura and soy sauce can all be effectively held by these little dishes.

Now, what you can plainly see about these abstract bowls is that their shapes do serve a purpose. When you arrange them according to Vinicius's design, you will end up with the simplified and fragmented image of a fish. You'll know how to position the Sushi to Go Plate Set because the accompanying wooden board has specially designated holes.
Trend Themes
1. Seafood-inspired Dinnerware - There's an opportunity to create more seafood-inspired dinnerware that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
2. Multipurpose Serving Dishes - Creating serving dishes that can hold a variety of different types of food can bring convenience and practicality to mealtimes.
3. Abstract Shapes in Tableware - Tableware with unconventional and abstract shapes can add an element of artistic flair to dining experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Home Goods - Home goods manufacturers could explore the creation of unique and adaptable dinnerware, such as seafood-inspired plates and bowls and multipurpose serving dishes.
2. Restaurants - Restaurants could consider using unconventional and abstract tableware as a way to elevate the dining experience and create a memorable impression on their customers.
3. Hospitality - Hotels and resorts could incorporate distinctive and functional serving dishes into their dining experiences as a way to differentiate from competitors and create a more immersive dining experience for guests.
