# Delicate Degustation Dishes Ceon Tapas Serving Trays Make Tasting and Sharing Spanish Food a Treat By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-01-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/con-tapas-serving-dishes References: [industrialdesignserved](http://www.industrialdesignserved.com/gallery/Con-Tapas-Foodculture/5051269) & [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/Con-Tapas-Foodculture/5051269) Different cuisines do occasionally demand different dishes and this set of Céon tapas serving trays is optimal for [Spanish food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/denada-ambient-range) specifically. Carlos Schreib created a delicious duo of salvers that can be used together and separately and stack conveniently for storage. The small diamond-shaped plates can be treated as a bowl and a heat-sealing lid, or as a petite serving platter and a tiny tray for scraps like olive pits and shrimp tails. The deeper of the two [ceramic pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destree-x-cabana) has a tab on one end, allowing you to pick it up easily and pour edibles into your personal crockery. If everyone is sharing from the same Céon tapas serving dishes, a [wooden rotatable hub](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-serving-board) with a metal handle can be used with the set. It functions as a Lazy Susan so that each can conveniently get a taste of every menu item. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Multi-functional Serveware:** Designing serving trays that can be used in multiple ways, such as acting as a bowl and lid or a platter and tray, offers a disruptive innovation opportunity in the field of dining and hospitality. - **Stackable Tableware:** Creating stackable serving trays for easy storage and convenience presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the tableware industry. - **Interactive Serving Tools:** Developing rotating hubs or Lazy Susan-style mechanisms for sharing food from communal serving dishes presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the kitchenware and dining industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Dining and Hospitality:** The multi-functional serveware trend can benefit restaurants, hotels, and catering companies by providing versatile options for serving food. - **Tableware:** The stackable tableware trend can be applied in the manufacturing of plates, bowls, and other dining vessels, catering to both home and professional use. - **Kitchenware and Dining:** The interactive serving tools trend can be adopted by both kitchenware manufacturers and restaurant suppliers to enhance the dining experience and promote efficient sharing of food. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stackable Rotating Snack Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tapas-snack-sphere.md) - [Modular Serving Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish.md) - [Poppable Paella Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paella-bites.md) - [Unique Upcycled Serving Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-wine-bottle-appetizer-tray.md) - [Sculptural Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces.md) - [Multifunctional Serving Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/convertible-serving-board-trio.md) - [Giftable Portuguese Tapas Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portuguese-tapas.md) - [Artsy Serving Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoresin-accented-cheese-and-charcuterie-serving-boards.md) - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md)
