Designed by [OTOTO](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ototo-and-everyplate) and Lilach Eytan, the serving dish draws inspiration from traditional tipi tents and features one in the center that offers a space for holding toothpicks or other small serving accessories. The design of the central tipi-inspired cup allows toothpicks to fan out and be easily grabbed by hungry partygoers or guests. The 'Tipi' snack dish is part of a new collection and features a [bio bamboo construction](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legni-collection) to make it a more eco-friendly option for entertainers to choose. The plate is available now to preorder from the playful houseware brand's website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 72% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Partyware:** Designing serving dishes with sustainable materials and eco-friendliness in mind can disrupt the traditional partyware industry - **Playful Design Aesthetics:** Incorporating fun and unique design elements into dishware can disrupt the monotony of traditional tableware - **Functional/decorative Fusion:** Blending functionality and aesthetic design in serving dishes can disrupt and innovate the home decor and kitchen industry ### Sectors Adopting This - **Party Supplies:** The eco-friendly and playful design features of 'Tipi' serving dishes create innovation opportunities for vendors in the party supply industry - **Home Decor:** The functional/decorative fusion of the 'Tipi' snack dish presents an innovative opportunity for the home decor industry - **Kitchenware:** Incorporating unique designs and eco-friendly materials into kitchenware can disrupt traditional kitchenware industry ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Creative Dipping Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dip-sea.md) - [Modular Serving Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish.md) - [Ourdoor Dining Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tobachi-collection.md) - [Interactive Mealtime Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platoo-interactive-sensory-meal-plate.md) - [Mess-Avoiding Dipping Dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dipidup.md) - [Cup-Integrated Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pairingware.md) - [Quirky Spoon Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ototo-and-everyplate.md) - [Chic Stackable Tableware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-ecosystem.md) - [Elegant Snack Platter Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hors-doeuvres-set.md)
