More from Milan – The Plate with a Twist

Published 2010-04-21 in Electrolux Design

Milan Design Week provided no shortage of inspiration for the Electrolux Design Team and as if to show one can find such inspiration anywhere, if you care to look for it, Thomas Johansson, Electrolux Design Director, identified this simple but beautiful plate in particular. Made from recycled cardboard/paper it proved to be sturdy, stylish and with an  indent to ensure easy grip, a practical way of holding the food served at an opening event party. Check out more images and thoughts below.

This clever interpretation of the plate and in particular, the way it is designed to meet a specific use; held whilst standing up,  is a further illustration that good design doesn’t need to be complicated. The key is thinking of the user and their interaction with the object in question.

Thomas Johansson, Electrolux Designer Director (below), shows a natural affinity with the plate with a twist.

It looks good – but good enough to eat?

Simple yet elegant.

The centre piece of the table and a perfect platform for presenting some great food.

A special plate that brings a smile!
