Altered Perspectives - Plates As Canvases by Little Owl Designs.
New Sport Dinner Plates For Interactive Food Fun By Designer Boguslaw Sliwiński.
You may have seen his wonderful and whimsical Transportation Plates (shown at the end of this post) on some other design blogs such as Dezeen. Now, in addition to those, designer Boguslaw Sliwiński has come up with five new designs that feature a silhouette of a man in various athletic positions, giving the illusion of interacting with food placed on the plate. The five sports: football, skydiving, diving, tug of war and weightlifting are whimsical, but still stylish and will delight children and adults alike.
The method of application is extremely durable and resistant to washing in dishwashers or using in the microwave. This durability is guaranteed by the firing ceramic components in the furnace at a temperature of 800 °C.
Sport9 (Skydiving):
Sport4 (Soccer/Football):
Sport5 (Diving):
Sport7 (Weightlifting):
Sport8 (Tug o' War):
Also worth noting is his Face On plate:
