# Handy Hors d'Oeuvre Holders The Lilobul Canape Tray Enables Social Snacking While Standing By Amelia Roblin | Published 2012-07-27 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lilobul References: [blog.leibal](http://blog.leibal.com/products/lilobul/) & [vincent-olm](http://www.vincent-olm.com/en/lilobul-vincent-olm.html) You get much less pleasure from inhaling hors d'oeuvres on-the-spot than you do by setting them down and consuming them more leisurely. The Lilobul personal platter makes it more polite for you to pause after one bite of a mini quiche or a petit four and continue in conversation at cocktail parties. Your one hand would usually be responsible for clasping a glass of champagne, but with Vincent Olm's salver you can hold it as well as a small selection of scrumptious edibles. The object is essentially a tiny tray with a cone-shaped hole at one side that provides the perfect place for an elegant conical flute. The Lilobul can either be steadily held like an artist's palette or placed upside-down to rest upon a table. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 23% | 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) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personalized Social Snacking:** The Lilobul Canape Tray enables individuals to personalize their snacking experience while continuing to socialize. - **Hands-free Serving:** The Lilobul Canape Tray provides a hands-free way to elegantly serve hors d'oeuvres and hold beverages. - **Polite Cocktail Hour:** The Lilobul Canape Tray promotes politeness at cocktail parties by allowing individuals to pause and continue conversations without awkwardly holding their food. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Event Planning:** The event planning industry can utilize the Lilobul Canape Tray to create personalized social snacking experiences at parties and events. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can utilize the Lilobul Canape Tray to enhance the guest experience and promote a more polite cocktail hour. - **Catering:** The catering industry can utilize the Lilobul Canape Tray to create a hands-free serving approach that is both elegant and practical. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stackable Rotating Snack Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tapas-snack-sphere.md) - [Cup-Integrated Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pairingware.md) - [Lazy Susan Charcuterie Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-on-board-lazy-susan.md) - [Unique Upcycled Serving Trays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/recycled-wine-bottle-appetizer-tray.md) - [Delicious Cocktail Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-bites.md) - [Grab-and-Go Charcuterie Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volpi-snack-cups.md) - [Artsy Serving Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecoresin-accented-cheese-and-charcuterie-serving-boards.md) - [Italian Appetizer Coffee Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aperitivo-coffee-table.md) - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md)
