Restaurants like The Fat Duck and Dans Le Noir gaining acclaim for their sensual dining experience, chefs and diners are constantly searching for new, interesting ways to experience food. With dishes often being flamboyant and attention grabbing, a restrained approach was taken with the “Sway” tableware set. Inspired by folded paper, the curve is formed by only two supporting points on the base, which causes subtle movement in both the food served and the plate itself. The plate is designed to be the perfect foil for imaginative dishes created by the chefs.
The simple contour of the plate seduces the consumers, nevertheless they would not get distracted from the main focus which should be on the food.
Caution is required when using the plates due to the unstableness, hence induces an unconscious act of thought towards how the food should be eaten off of the plate in order to balance it.
