# Foodie Infographic Dishes These Starck Plates Playfully Illustrate Several Dietaries Ideas By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-01-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starck-plates References: [mrdeanbrown](http://www.mrdeanbrown.co.uk/StarckPlates.html) What you will realize while looking at the [Starck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bonjour-unplugged) Plates is that dishes can be so much more than simple holders for your breakfast, lunch and dinner. Commissioned for the [Royal Monceau Restaurant Interior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/international-photography-exhibition) in Paris by Phillipe Starck, this crockery collection is decorative and imaginatively encouraging. Designed by Mr. Dean Brown, the [illustrated salvers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/destree-x-cabana) include Dissected Cow, Pie Chart and Food Chain. The first one is a patterned diagram of the various cuts of beef, the second is a graph that breaks down the proportions of a meal's various constituents, and the last one is a nutritional pyramid that portrays the four food groups. Each one is drawn up in a freehand manner and appears delightfully child-like in quality. The Starck Plates bring playful personality to supper. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, 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 ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Decorative Crockery Collections:** There is an opportunity to design more creative and playful crockery collections as an addition to a restaurant's interior decor. - **Illustrated Tableware:** There is a trend for illustrated and personalized tableware in the dining industry, which presents an opportunity to invest in unique tableware design. - **Child-like Quality Decor:** Decor with a whimsical, child-like aesthetic is becoming more popular, offering an opportunity for designers to create playful and imaginative interiors. ### Where This Applies - **Restaurant:** Restaurants can utilize decorative tableware collections as an addition to their unique brand experience. - **Home Decor:** As more people embrace whimsy in home decor, designers could capitalize on the trend to create playful crockery collections for the consumer market. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can use whimsical decor elements, such as decorative crockery, to add a playful touch to their projects, and differentiate themselves from competitors. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md) - [Specialty Meatball Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/meatball-plate.md) - [Coordinated Children-Focused Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-bundle-for-children.md) - [Chic Stackable Tableware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-ecosystem.md) - [Luxurious Patterned Ceramic Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patterned-ceramic-plates.md) - [Handmade Dessert Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carolina-k.md) - [Reusable Folding Storage Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calzone-tableware.md) - [Food-Inspired Brand Imagery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cooking-clases-barcelona-venue.md) - [Sin-Inspired Artful Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sinful-feast.md)
