# Produce-Printed Porcelain Chiara Andreatti Gives Dishes a Whimsical Look with Salad Ink By Gil Cohen | Published 2013-05-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salad-ink References: [thisispaper](http://thisispaper.com/Chiara-Andreatti-Salad-Ink) & [chiaraandreatti](http://www.chiaraandreatti.com/projects/porcelain-tableware/) Designer Chiara Andreatti has launched her Salad Ink collection, a line of dishes that emulate the various fruits and vegetables that are theoretically placed upon them. Similar in concept to the arts and crafts done by children in kindergarten, the patterns are done by slicing foods such as artichokes, pineapples and lemons in half, dipping them in blue ink and using them as stamps to create a whimsical series of prints. The disarming simplicity of this collection is amusing and refreshing, incorporating an air of youthfulness and irony into the classic set of dishes. Set the table with the Salad Ink collection of dishes by Chiara Andreatti and fill up every dish with volumes of fruits and veggies for a fresh setup that is suitable for spring and summer fiestas. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Produce-printed Porcelain:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of unconventional materials and techniques to create unique and playful dishware designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate whimsical and playful elements into traditional dishware designs to appeal to a younger demographic. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hand-Painted Ceramic Plate Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destree-x-cabana.md) - [Fruit-Inspired Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-grounds.md) - [Garden-Inspired Tableware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Tottus-x-Ximena-Llosa.md) - [Chinese Restaurant-Inspired Tablewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshservice-fresh-drink-service.md) - [Elegant Porcelain Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porcelain-tableware.md) - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md) - [Vibrant Artisanal Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sobremesa.md) - [Patterned Cultural Crockery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dishoom.md) - [Luxurious Patterned Ceramic Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patterned-ceramic-plates.md)
