# Responsive Silicone Dinnerware These Silicone Bowls Wobble Like Jelly in Response to Eating By Ell Smith | Published 2017-06-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silicone-bowls References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2017/06/28/lina-saleh-living-plates-tremble-bounce-response-food-design-homeware-royal-college-art-graduate/) & [rca.ac.uk](https://www.rca.ac.uk/students/lina-saleh/) Designer Lina Saleh has made jiggly [silicone bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eternos-serving-bowl) that encourage dinners to play with their food. After graduating from the [Royal College of Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phytosymbiosis), Saleh wanted to represent how different people experienced their food -- each plate is representative of the "perception of taste." The collection of dinnerware includes bowls that can be flipped inside-out, [plates that quiver](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/circuit) when eaten from and saucers that can be folded into one's hand. The artist collaborated with a chef, pairing recipes that best represented the movements of her plates. The range includes a bowl that can convey the richness of a dessert, as well as a saucer that embodies the delicacy of the chef's appetizer. The responsive silicone dinnerware aims to bring life to static objects through fusing eating with theatrics. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Kitchen](https://www.trendhunter.com/kitchen) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Jiggly Silicone Bowls:** The use of jiggly silicone bowls in dinnerware design presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation by enhancing the sensory experience of eating. - **Interactive Plates:** The incorporation of quivering plates in dinnerware design presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation by engaging diners and adding an element of playfulness to mealtime. - **Transformable Saucers:** The creation of foldable saucers in dinnerware design presents an opportunity for disruptive innovation by providing functional and adaptable dining accessories. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Dining:** The food and dining industry can explore the use of jiggly silicone bowls, interactive plates, and transformable saucers to enhance the dining experience and create unique product offerings. - **Kitchenware and Tableware:** The kitchenware and tableware industry can incorporate jiggly silicone bowls, interactive plates, and transformable saucers in their product lines to cater to consumers seeking innovative and playful dining experiences. - **Hospitality and Event Planning:** The hospitality and event planning industry can utilize jiggly silicone bowls, interactive plates, and transformable saucers to add a distinctive touch to dining experiences and events, creating memorable moments for guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md) - [Playful Tableware Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-dining-experience.md) - [Reusable Folding Storage Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calzone-tableware.md) - [Communal Tableware Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shaken.md) - [Zero Gravity-Dining Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-microgravity.md) - [Colorful Gelatin Dessert-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-jelly-collection.md) - [Table Manners-Teaching Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-tableware.md) - [Single-Piece Silicone Measuring Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boi-measuring-cup.md) - [Next-Gen Gelatin Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelee.md)
