Dinner DJ Turntable Plate: Stop Scratching at Your Food, Kids!

Posted on 17/02/2015 by Conner Flynn

It’s tough getting small kids to eat sometimes, but if you serve up their food on this awesome DJ dinner set they’ll scarf it all down in no time while pretending they are laying down some fresh beats. That is, assuming they know what a record player is.

Dinner DJ is an interactive melamine dinner set for kids that looks like a turntable with a spinning record plate, tonearm eating utensil, and adjustable knobs. It doesn’t say how fast the plate can spin, but I doubt you’ll have to worry about mashed potatoes flying everywhere. Kids will have a lot of fun just trying to get their food from a spinning surface alone.

The Dinner DJ is available for pre-order at Fred & Friends for $28(USD). This should definitely keep your rugrats fed and happy.

Mind Over Food

Posted on 15/07/2014 by Radhika Seth

Mind Power is potent and it can manipulate or simulate circumstances that may seem fictitious and surreal. Based on this premise is the plate and glass combo of the ‘SET TO MIMIC’ tableware. The idea is to put a microchip in us, which interacts with our brain cells so that it can register smells, tastes and textures of our favorite food. When bland or ‘health foods’ are placed on the plate, the microchip manipulates our senses to feel as if we are eating our favorite food.

For example, you could be eating a plate of lettuce, but ‘SET TO MIMIC’ makes you feel as if you are eating a cheeseburger! This concept is a part of the semi-finalists shortlisted by the 2014 Electrolux Design Lab Competition.

Considerate Ceramics

The Ceramic Scoop Bowl isn’t just cool because of its Cvisual oddness… it’s also designed to accommodate individuals with muscular conditions and is an ideal eating aid for one-handed users. The vertical wall and sloping bottom helps users easily guide food onto their utensils while also allowing the plate to rest at the edge of the table helping to eliminate spillage. For added safety, the bowl also features a nitrile rubber base to prevent sliding and provide a stable eating platform.

Geeky Willow Plates: Calamityware

Posted on 02/02/2014 by Lambert Varias

If you missed out on Olly Moss’ limited edition 8-bit willow plates, Don Moyer’s Calamityware might be the next best thing. Don creates humorous dinner plates by using the ancient willow pattern to depict modern subjects. His first plate features the flying monkeys from The Wizard of Oz. Now he’s raising funds on Kickstarter to make plates with a giant robot on it.

To give you an idea of what the finished product will look like, here’s a sample of the flying monkey plate:

You can pre-order both plates from the Calamityware shop, but you can also pledge just $25 (USD) on Kickstarter to get the giant robot plate as a reward. You can also check out Don’s Flickr page to see more images of Calamityware, including his future designs.

Alien Facehugger Light Switch Plate: Better Leave the Lights on

Posted on 02/12/2013 by Conner Flynn

There are plenty of things to be afraid of when you are in the dark. Anything could be walking your darkened halls and waiting to pounce on you. Aliens, a Predator, maybe even Weird Al Yankovic. Darkness is our enemy. I say embrace your fear and gather enough courage to install this awesome Alien Facehugger light switch plate.

Sure, it is scary, but at least you know it is there and not moving anywhere. It might even scare some of those other demons away. Besides, when a facehugger is busy hugging your wall switch, it’s all good. It is too busy to hug you to death.

It’s made from resin and cold cast bronze by Afterlight Sculpture and sells for about $24(USD). I don’t recommend ever flipping it to the “off” position though.

8-bit Willow Plates: Fine Gaming

Posted on 06/10/2013 by Lambert Varias

When artist Olly Moss first posted images of his video game-themed dinnerware, the Internet exploded with so much want. If you’re one of those people who coveted his geeky take on the Willow pattern, you’re in luck. The plates are on sale, but only for a very short time.

In case this is the first time you’ve heard of these plates, they look like something your grandparents would use from afar. But if you look closer you’ll see that the plates feature scenes from either Pokémon or The Legend of Zelda.

You can order the 8-bit Willow Plates from Olly Moss’ online shop for $60 (USD) each or $200 for four plates. But they’ll only be on sale until tomorrow (10/7/13 at 12pm GMT) so act quickly.

Dinosaur Serving Dish: Even If He Had Longer Arms, It Wouldn’t Help

Posted on 05/07/2013 by Paul Strauss

Ok, just four words are required to describe this object:

BEST. SERVING. DISH. EVER.

dinosaur serving dish

It was made by Gretchen of Three Little Monkeys Studio using a cheap kid’s dinosaur toy, a melamine plate, some glue and paint. Best thing is, you can easily make your own for less that $10. While it’s shown here serving up some OREOs, I think it would also work well with chunks of raw meat for fondue.

Plate-Oh! Extends the Life of Your Typical Paper Plate By Ten Times

Posted on 30/03/2013 by Hazel Chua

Disposable paper plates are wasteful. Unfortunately, they’re one of the few options if you’re having a picnic or hosting an outdoor meal for various reasons. Re-using them doesn’t seem like a very hygienic or practical thing to do, since most get soiled pretty badly after one use anyway.

An upgrade to the conventional paper plate comes in the form of the Plate-Oh!

Plate Oh

It’s basically a paper plate with ten disposable layers pressed on top of it. So instead of throwing the plate away after using it once, you’ll simply have to peel the soiled, topmost layer off by lifting the corner of that layer and pulling gently. Dispose of that layer, and voila! You’ve got a clean paper plate to use for the next party!

Plate Oh1

The Plate-Oh! concept was designed by Sahar Madanat Haddad, and there are no immediate plans to commercialize the Plate-Oh!

Plate-Oh! Plate!

Posted on 26/03/2013 by Radhika Seth

The Plate-Oh! is a biodegradable plate featuring a unique construction of 10 individual layers pressed together. What this means is that every time you use the plate, instead of discarding it, simply peel off the used upper layer and toss that away. In a jiffy you have a fresh plate!

Plate-oh! has several advantages like extended life cycle of a paper plate, so that you buy less. It’s easy; no clean up needed and saves water, it’s compact; no more bins over flowing with bulky paper plates. The natural adhesive applied to the outer edges of all the layers, acts as a belt holding everything together. One corner is left without adhesive to allow the user to peel off.
