# DIY Edible Designer Dishes Piet Zwart's Edible Dishes Don't Sacrifice Any Style For Taste By Kyle Towers | Published 2013-04-14 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edible-dishes References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2013/04/11/altered-appliances-kitchen-tableware-piet-zwart-institute-students/) & [pzwart.wdka.nl](http://pzwart.wdka.nl/home/)  The Piet Zwart Institute has crafted some pretty spectacular edible dishes for those at home to use and then eat afterwards. This project has a variety of positive benefits which include avoiding waste that is created by disposable dishes, dish soap, power for washing machines and water. It also just makes an all around more enjoyable meal. If you are eating a nice pasta or chili, the flavors would meld with the plates and create a delicious dessert to be enjoyed at the end. The Piet Zwart Institute has displayed some fantastic outside-the-box thinking for this initiative, which will hopefully inspire more eco-friendly creations such as these ones. Areas like packaging need a similar make-over that is both cost effective and easy to manufacture. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 42% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Three-in-One Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-and-cheese-balls.md) - [Rustic Induction Cookware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stone-conceptual-kitchen-appliances.md) - [Peelable Dinner Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plateoh.md) - [DIY Trivet Decorations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-trivet-decorations.md) - [Colorblocked Confectionery Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-art-desserts.md) - [Compartmentalizing Culinary Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-stop-chop-cutting-board.md) - [3D-Printed Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dprinted-food.md) - [Multi-Course Meal Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-for-all.md) - [Painting-Inspired Snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/san-francisco-museum-of-art.md)
