MOON side plate

At first glance, it looks like an ordinary round plate with an evenly raised rim. On the inside, however, two curves determine its orientation: at the front, the edge rises slightly, while at the back, the food is presented freely at a gentle angle. The plate functions as a tapas dish for serving a starter, separating wet and dry elements, and encouraging interaction between chef and guest.

The MOON project includes several variations: among others, muscanthus x giganteus, porcelain, earthenware, locally harvested cherry wood, and, in this case, ceramic. As a designer, I aim not to define the final form, but rather to stimulate the making process. In this way, a design evolves through its maker. For this version, people from Intesa in Berbroek (BE) were involved, an organization that provides daytime activities for adults with disabilities.
