The Share.Food collection makes the practice a great deal more accessible than your standard [serving plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish) do, angling one way or the other to accommodate facing people. The beveled bottom is what make these [bowls and mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gathered-collection) so unique. The pitched bases allow the vessels to lean in either of two directions while maintaining stability to hold their contents securely. The users can thus tip each piece back and forth to his own convenience so that the food or drink before him is easier to obtain. Bilge Nur Saltik's Share.Food further delights with its [bright white ceramic material](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corcelain) and the fluorescent pink undersides that cast a cheerful glow. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Beveled Bottom:** Opportunity for innovative tableware designs that incorporate beveled bottoms to enhance accessibility and convenience. - **Angled Serving:** Opportunity for new serving plate designs that can be angled in multiple directions to accommodate facing individuals and enhance sharing experiences. - **Dual-direction Leaning:** Opportunity for products with dual-direction leaning capabilities for more secure and convenient handling of contents. ### Where This Applies - **Tableware Manufacturing:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the tableware manufacturing industry to create unique products with enhanced functionality. - **Kitchen Utensils and Gadgets:** Opportunity for kitchen utensils and gadgets manufacturers to develop products that enhance social dining experiences through innovative designs. - **Food and Beverage Services:** Opportunity for food and beverage service providers to offer unique dining experiences by adopting tableware designs that promote interaction and convenience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Communal Tableware Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaken.md) - [Interactive Mealtime Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platoo-interactive-sensory-meal-plate.md) - [Surrealist-Inspired Tea Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection.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) - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md) - [Revived Mid-Century Serveware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tortugaware.md) - [Zero Gravity-Dining Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-microgravity.md) - [Table Manners-Teaching Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-tableware.md)
