# Folded Panel Platters Crazy Trays by Sonja Rogova Make Architecture of Domestic Contents By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-07-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazy-trays-by-sonja-rogova References: [design-milk](http://design-milk.com/sonja-rogova/) & [raumgestalt.de](http://raumgestalt.de/) There is little philosophical difference between a building and an object designed for human use, so the execution of these Crazy Trays by Sonja Rogova is really quite poetic. The German student broke the requirements of a plate down to the basic physical attributes, leading her to treat this [collection of crockery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trasa-home) much like one would an [architectural floor plan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dust-order). When you think about it the thing that surrounds you and the thing that use both have you in common, which explains the structured form of this peculiar tableware. The [oak wood dish](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/track-concept) and its accompanying silver and yellow salvers feature a squared off sunken base flanked by a flat upper level on two sides mimicking floors and walls. The Raumgestal Crazy Trays by Sonja Rogova are just as effective for many foods, despite their singular redesigned forms. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Architecture-inspired Tableware:** Opportunity for designers to reimagine tableware with innovative architectural elements. - **Minimalistic Crockery:** Opportunity for minimalistic design in crockery with an emphasis on functionality. - **Multi-purpose Dishware:** Opportunity for producing dishware that can be used for a variety of foods and occasions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Product Design:** Designers can incorporate architectural elements into tableware to create unique products. - **Home Goods:** Home goods companies can offer modern and minimalistic crockery designs for consumers interested in functional design. - **Food and Hospitality:** Restaurants and caterers can use multi-purpose dishware to serve a variety of foods at different events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Shadow-Inspired Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightware-series.md) - [Removable Plate Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gere-multifunctional-crockery-shelf.md) - [Clay-Modeled Multi-Use Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramics-everday-objects.md) - [Offset Shelf Sideboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazy-slice-sideboard-concept.md) - [Minimal Premium Elegant Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eclipse-tray.md) - [Sculptural Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces.md) - [Flat-Packed Sleek Dish Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aurea.md) - [Revived Mid-Century Serveware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tortugaware.md) - [Puzzling Removable Tray Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/conceptual-puzzle-table.md)
