Shifting Tectonic Dinner Plates

Middle Seat Plate is an Earthquake of Convenient Dining

At least once in your life you’ve been plagued with the middle seat at a restaurant. It always ends up being two uneven tables that makes eating a hassle and sometimes messy. The Middle Seat Plate is the perfect design to resolve that problem.

The Middle Seat plate designed by Shira Nahon is a cheeky little plate that is raised on one side to accommodate for any height difference between tables. It is a little awkward to look at but it also appears to do the trick with impeccable ease. It even sort of reminds me of Earth's shifting tectonic plates.
