# Trophy Tableware by Emiko Oki: Plates in Disguise By Design Crack | Published 2007-03-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trophy-tableware-by-emiko-oki-plates-in-disguise References: [designcrack](http://designcrack.com/v2/2007/02/28/trophy-tableware-by-emiko-oki/) & [emikooki](http://www.emikooki.com) Emiko Oki designs some of the most clever products! Recently, I reviewed the pint glass that she created, and this product is of a similar theme. It's called Trophy Tableware because Emiko takes the [coffee pot, bowl, cup, saucer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monte-porcelain), and so on, and creates a groove in the ceramics with which the user can [stack the pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/torre-vases) to make a grand trophy. I find it to be similar to the pint glass in that the implied silhouette of the piece makes the piece. Everything is left simple and unadorned. I must admit I was daydreaming of what this piece might look like with some sort of baroque applied design, but it's simplicity is probably its strength as well. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 53% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% 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 Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Clever Tableware Design:** Opportunity for innovative tableware designs that offer unique functionality and visual appeal. - **Stackable Tableware:** Potential for stackable tableware that allows users to create customizable arrangements and save space. - **Minimalist Tableware:** Demand for minimalist tableware that embraces simplicity and unadorned aesthetics. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Home Goods:** Opportunity for home goods companies to develop and market clever and functional tableware designs for consumers. - **Kitchenware:** Potential for kitchenware manufacturers to create stackable tableware options to cater to space-conscious consumers. - **Interior Design:** Demand for minimalist tableware that complements modern interior design trends, creating opportunities for interior design professionals to incorporate these products into their projects. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Revived Mid-Century Serveware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tortugaware.md) - [Chic Stackable Tableware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tableware-ecosystem.md) - [Playful Tableware Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creative-dining-experience.md) - [Surrealist-Inspired Tea Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection.md) - [Stackable Compact Sake Set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/non-sake-set.md) - [Innovative Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-tableware1.md) - [Captivating Tonal Drinking Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podio-cup.md) - [Wabi-Sabi-Informed Green Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glassware.md) - [Elegant Porcelain Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porcelain-tableware.md)
