Practical dishes in paper and ceramics

The holidays are approaching and we are already thinking about the preparation of dinners, lunches and the like.
In addition to the menu, we need also to think about the decoration of the table, which is not to be underestimated, especially if the guests are many and varied.

If you are not too loyal to the tradition, you can already opt for something simple and that, at the end of the meal makes of the arrangement of the kitchen and the dining room something very quick. Otherwise, everything will still be good for New Yer's Eve dinners and parties.
So here are some suggestions, picked from the world of design and decoration for the table, with an eye also to ecology and functionality.

Plastic and bio plates

We start from a professional brand, which takes care of these things.
It's called GoldPlast and it has some very interesting collections. Besides the classic products for parties and house parties, it also has a whole range of ecological lines, the Goldplastbio, realized with Mater Bi and biopolymers that use plant material.


The shapes of the dishes are different and they are designed for those, who looking for something modern, and there are also the classic lines of plastic plates for common use. A set of dishes and glasses, other types of crockery and cutlery, perfect for creating a full stock, also to keep at home in case of need.

Disposable, ecological and design plates

We now turn to something more modern and original, like the dishes from the Japanese brand Wasara.
They are all biodegradable and highly ecological, realized through the use of production waste from the fibers of sugar cane.

Created by the team of designer Shinichiro Ogata, these dishes are really nice, with a simple design and a natural color that makes them even more appealing.
Designed for both the table and buffet dinners on foot, they may be a viable alternative to plastic and classical aesthetics and now widespread of disposable plates.

Also interesting are the lines of cutlery in bamboo, with stylized shapes vaguely reminiscent of rudimentary tools and utensils.
Wasara products are on sale for Europe on the site of SD Trading, with prices that are aligned around 45 euros per 100 pieces.

Card porcelain

But in view of the paper plates compared with the ceramic ones, it also happens that the roles are reversed.
The paper folds become a source of inspiration for precision machining and astonish the eye as well as the touch.

As the products by the American designer Virginia Sin who, with her Paper Plates, offers a set of ceramic dishes, textures and details that mimic the classic disposable types.

Something that resembles in part a project of the Seletti brand, or the line Estetico Quotidiano.
Plates, dishes, cups and saucers, all inspired by the classic paper, with lots of wrinkles and signs of aging.

Unusual and original, the collection transforms everyday dishes into something chic and fun, amazing at first glance.
Not only dishes, but a full range of products inspired by the everyday that we are usually accustomed to see in the poorest materials.

A porcelain to be used without problems in the dishwasher and microwave, which you can buy, for example, on Madeindesign, with prices that are around 12-18 euro.

Disposable plates for children

Often, finally, during the holidays, but not limited to that period, we have to organize a corner or a table for children.
Children, grandchildren, cousins... a way tomake them socialize and make the the time they spend together more enjoyable.
In this regard, also in view of the crockery and solutions disposable, there are numerous brands specialized in this kind of products.

Products which are usually referred and specifically designed for the parties of the little ones.
If you are looking for something colorful, I suggest you take a look at Little Party, which in addition to dishes with polka dots, with pirates and various decorations, also has a number of straws, tablecloths, napkins and accessories for cakes, perfect forcrowded birthday parties.
At the site, to organize themed solutions, you can also find a specific area, divided by topics: circus, carnival, animals, dinosaurs ... nothing is missing.
