The Mantara dish is the perfect fit for the hand talkers or the appetizer fiends. The dish, designed by Gabriel Contino, is an all-in-one dining set built for social convenience.
The Mantara is an assortment of curves and grooves that holds the food in the middle, a glass of wine (or anything you choose to drink out of the appropriate glass) in the groove on the side and a utensil that comfortably rests in a curve on the surface of the plate.
Now you can reach for the shrimp as it passes or be a little more animated with your guests.
