iPlate "Ctrl Z":


Not unlike kickstarter, Todd's plates are available for pre-sale at Ulule, a company that raises funds for the production and distribution of creative and imaginative products and ideas.



You can pre-order the set of 4 plates, which includes one of each version and then all the money will be used for production costs, printing, packaging and distributing and Todd will also start the process of finding design stores to distribute the series of plates.



These plates are china and are dishwasher safe. Buy them here

About Todd Borka:

A French illustrator working for both youth literature and magazines, Todd likes mixing the aesthetic of indian ink with the multiplicity of possibilities offered by image editing software.

He says he spends most of his time in front of his screen hacking Photoshop... So, obviously, sometimes, it turns him crazy! I think it makes him creative.

a special thanks to Yatzer for briging Todd's work to my attention!

Bottega Veneta Does Dishes: Introducing Intreccio Svenito Porcelain Dinnerware



Bottega Veneta, which is owned by the Gucci Group of French company PPR, has also teamed up with KPM (Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur KPM), the porcelain company famously acquired in the 18th century by Prussian King Frederick the Great, for a range of dishes featuring a hand-painted version of the intreccio motif -- starting prices at around 85 euros.

The collection incorporates their famous woven leather motif, only hand painted upon porcelain to give a very unusual look and style.

Introducing Intreccio Svanito:













And don't forget, they make stunning woven leather chargers, placemats, napkin rings and more to compliment their new dishes.



And if you really want to fork out some dough, buy their dining room furniture to compliment your new dishes!

If you're a hipster, chances are you are familiar with Lovegrove & Repucci, the creative duo about which I've blogged before. Their latest "must have" is their new dinnerware, London Delft, a follow up to their very hot New York Delft Dinnerware.


The classic tradition of Dutch Delft craftsmanship now has a London calling. The ‘London Delft’ Porcelain dinnerware collection, new from Nicholas (Nick) Lovegrove and Demien Repucci. Each place setting is made of fine porcelain and has five pieces; a dinner plate, side plate, soup bowl, cup and saucer.
