This seemingly normal serving tray is actually a porcelain version of a crease pattern in the process of being collapse into an origami model. The mountain & valley folds offer space for different types of snacks and the tray iself offers material for speculation. What origami model is that anyway? Could it be folded into one of these porcelain Rosenthal Vases? Created by Berlin designer Achim Haigis; first seen TrendHunter; serving tray available from fitzsu for $140; also available as a dish from ContemporaryConcepts.

 | 2010: If you love tea, check out this "Christmas Tea" tree designed by a Croatian pair named Mint. Tea bags are stapled to tree shaped tabs. The tabs can be hooked onto the lip of the cup so it prevents your tab from falling into the hot water. Moreover, the Christmas tree tabs are cut in half, each half attached to its own tea bag. The concept of two halves "encourages people to consume a hot beverage with a dear person". The design won the Core77 Notable Award, 2011. See how the Christmas Tea works. |
