# Seafood-Shaped Salvers The Sushi to Go Plate Set was Inspired by a Popular Japanese Ingredient By Amelia Roblin | Published 2013-03-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-to-go-plate-set References: [behance.net](http://www.behance.net/gallery/SuShi-to-Go/5029833) For many meals, the shape of the crockery that holds it doesn't actually matter a great deal. The Sushi to Go Plate Set manifests as a collection of rather unusual forms, yet this does not detract from its functionality. Vinnie Longo molded four separate pieces with generously high edges so that they might contain a variety of different edibles. [Sushi rolls, seaweed salad, sashimi, tempura](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/omakase-sushi-course) and soy sauce can all be effectively held by these little dishes. Now, what you can plainly see about these abstract bowls is that their shapes do serve a purpose. When you arrange them according to Vinicius's design, you will end up with the simplified and fragmented image of a fish. You'll know how to position the Sushi to Go Plate Set because the accompanying [wooden board has specially designated holes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 27% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Seafood-inspired Dinnerware:** There's an opportunity to create more seafood-inspired dinnerware that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. - **Multipurpose Serving Dishes:** Creating serving dishes that can hold a variety of different types of food can bring convenience and practicality to mealtimes. - **Abstract Shapes in Tableware:** Tableware with unconventional and abstract shapes can add an element of artistic flair to dining experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Goods:** Home goods manufacturers could explore the creation of unique and adaptable dinnerware, such as seafood-inspired plates and bowls and multipurpose serving dishes. - **Restaurants:** Restaurants could consider using unconventional and abstract tableware as a way to elevate the dining experience and create a memorable impression on their customers. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts could incorporate distinctive and functional serving dishes into their dining experiences as a way to differentiate from competitors and create a more immersive dining experience for guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md) - [Sushi-Themed Pet Feeders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sushi-feeder-tray.md) - [Sushi Boat Blocked Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funamori-platter-set.md) - [Stackable Compact Sake Set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/non-sake-set.md) - [Sculptural Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces.md) - [Multi-Functional Food Containers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multifunctional-food-container.md) - [Revived Mid-Century Serveware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tortugaware.md) - [Reusable Folding Storage Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calzone-tableware.md) - [Multifunctional Serving Boards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/convertible-serving-board-trio.md)
