Made out of [plywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/join-collection), they could easily be mistaken for [traditional fruit bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-serving-board) and other similar decor. In fact, they could easily double as those items when not in use as tableware. The use of veneer sheets allows the layers of the wood to open up, creating a beautifully ringed pattern on the Plates by Viktor Puzur. Although inspired by nature, the dishes have a modern touch that would fit perfectly into a modern home. Available in two sizes, the Plates by Viktor Puzur can serve an entire meal, essentially keeping it all in the family. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 41% | 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 - **Sustainable Tableware:** The use of plywood opens the door for a new wave of sustainable and eco-friendly tableware options. - **Natural Design:** The ringed pattern on the plates opens the door for tableware design inspired by nature. - **Multi-functional Tableware:** The ability for the plates to double as decor creates an opportunity for multi-functional and space-saving tableware. ### Who This Affects Most - **Interior Design:** The modern look of the plates make them a perfect fit for the interior design industry. - **Hospitality:** The sustainable and unique look of the plates make them a perfect fit for environmentally conscious restaurants and hotels. - **Housewares:** The multi-functional design of the plates make them a perfect fit for companies focused on creating space-saving and multi-purpose housewares. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flat-Packed Sleek Dish Racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aurea.md) - [Beautified Plywood Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plybord.md) - [Handmade Dessert Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carolina-k.md) - [Walnut Shell-Created Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nos.md) - [All-in-One Eco Party Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knork-eco-party-plate.md) - [Sustainable Kitchen Gear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legni-collection.md) - [Revived Mid-Century Serveware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tortugaware.md) - [Luxurious Patterned Ceramic Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patterned-ceramic-plates.md) - [Removable Plate Shelving Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gere-multifunctional-crockery-shelf.md)
