# Practical Graspable Porringers The Food Serving Salad Set was Designed for Optimal Handling By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-02-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-serving-salad-set References: [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/gallery/Food-Serving/4879617) The Food Serving Salad Set may not comprise the ideal crockery for an exceedingly formal meal; however, the collection is great for every casual suppertime that's shared amongst friends or family. Dishes have long been designed to hold food effectively, yet most do not serve as convenient vessels for passing and distributing edibles around the table. Vinicius Longo's concept is a simple but very practical one. The [plastic bowl](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eternos-serving-bowl) has been made with a generous rim that extends even more on one side to serve as a highly grippable handle. This shape makes it easy for you to hold the container in one hand while you [scoop its contents](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolving-spoon) with the other. Both pieces of the lightweight Food Serving Salad Set are easy to hand over to your hungry mealtime companions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Grippable Servingware:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing servingware with handles for easier distribution of food. - **Casual Dining Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating practical and versatile dishware for casual meals shared among friends and family. - **Practical Food Containers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing food containers with user-friendly features that enhance functionality and convenience. ### Where This Applies - **Kitchenware:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introducing new designs and materials to make kitchenware more practical and user-friendly. - **Hospitality:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovating serving solutions for casual dining establishments to improve the customer experience. - **Plastics Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Investing in research and development to create versatile and ergonomic plastic food containers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modular Serving Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish.md) - [Table Manners-Teaching Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-tableware.md) - [Coordinated Children-Focused Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-bundle-for-children.md) - [Durable Sustainable Cutlery Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lollo.md) - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md) - [Drop-Shaped Salad Spinners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drop-colander.md) - [Chic Stackable Tableware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-ecosystem.md) - [Sculptural Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces.md) - [Ergonomic Instant Noodle Forks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nendo-x-nissin-the-fork.md)
