Hasta La Ideas

by Laura Neilson

Designed by London-based Absolute Appetite Studio, these Bone china plates add comic book-style explosive doses of punchy humor to table settings, making even the blandest entree a feast for the eyes.

Available in four different flavor bursts (olive green, chocolate brown, cherry pink and sepia black), the 11-inch plates vividly illustrate how an age-old industry can adapt to meet the demands and tastes of a younger market. They’re made from traditionally-crafted Bone china in Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England, an area celebrated for its historic pottery industry.

Zest plates sell for approximately $42 each via the U.K. store Dream Icons.

Check out Absolute Appetite’s other products on their site, including the clever maraca-inspired Samba salt and pepper shakers—which are available for purchase from Charles Marie for $75.
