# Silver Plates as Candles Stunning Table Accessories from Sono Mocci By TrendHead | Published 2009-05-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silver-plates-as-candles-stunning-design-competition-2nd-prize-by-sono-mocc References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/contest/view.php?contest_pk=25&item_pk=26108&p=3) & [sonomocci](http://sonomocci.com/) The title “Beyond Silver” really fits the shortlisted winners of a recent Designboom competition. I love the look of this [luxury liquid silver plate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/through-chrome-reflections) which is also a candlelight. The Liquid Silver plate is designed by Italian designer Sono Mocci. Mocci describes the product design as an enhancer of a [romantic dinner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-microgravity). The candle will illuminate the food, as silver is the most reflective metal, and will shine brightly on your 3-course dinners. But the [candle plate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alma-mater) in itself looks stunning, like a candle that has burned down to liquid. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, 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 - **Luxury Table Accessories:** Opportunity for designers to create innovative and luxurious table accessories that enhance the dining experience. - **Multifunctional Home Decor:** The trend of combining functionality and aesthetics in home decor products, like candles that also serve as decorative tableware. - **Romantic Dining Enhancements:** Creating products that enhance the romantic ambiance of dining experiences, such as candles that provide both illumination and decorative elements. ### Who This Affects Most - **Home Decor:** Home decor industry can explore creating innovative and multifunctional products that enhance the dining experience for consumers. - **Luxury Goods:** Opportunity for luxury brands to offer high-end, visually appealing table accessories that create a luxurious dining experience. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can incorporate unique and romantic dining enhancements, like silver plate candles, to create memorable dining experiences for clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interestingly Shaped Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poise-candle-holder.md) - [Shimmering Oceanic Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-table.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Sculptural Flatware Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carrousel-flatware.md) - [Captivating Tonal Drinking Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podio-cup.md) - [Architectural Candle Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/core-candle-holder.md) - [Light-Manipulating Tableware Pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iitala.md) - [Luxe Candle-Melting Lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/infra-luna-20.md) - [Modular Candleholder Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-candleholder.md)
