There should always be an opportunity for fun to be had at the table, especially for children, and the Railroad Plate by Neue Freunde offers the perfect place setting for locomotive lovers.
The playful placemat is made up of what looks more like a wooden cutting board, trimmed with a set of toy train tracks along the top. Both ends of this platter have puzzle joints either protruding or perforating the piece, allowing a separate cup holder coaster to be attached as well.
The German designer sells his delightful dinnerware through his Etsy shop, but the saucer and salver combo are not an isolated set. The Railroad Plate by Neue Freunde can be connected in series to mainstream train tracks made by Eichhorn, Brio or Thomas the Tank Engine.
