Absorptive Dessert Plate

Leave at least one bite of food on your plate

The Absorptive Dessert Plate utilizes a biocomposite material to create a strong and durable dish that is safe, washable and mimics unfired clay in its appearance. The dish itself is composed of two locking-disc pieces and a swatch of muslin sealed between them that is accessible from the top. As the fabric well absorbs a portion of the food it carries, it prevents the consumer from attaining their last bite in a subtle yet perceivable manner as progressive assimilation is fully recorded in the raw material, which is fast-absorbing and easily stained. The lack of a solid bottom further prevents scraping, leaving a permanent imprint on the fabric.
