We’re all probably finding ourselves cooking at home a lot more lately—or at least trying to. Some of us are likely masters of the kitchen by now. (It looks like the lockdown has its upside after all.) Now that you’ve perfected your cooking game, it’s time to push things a bit further and make sure your meals are gorgeously presented. Here are some home shops and brands that sell beautifully-designed plates for enhancing your stay-at-home dining experience.
Co-owned by renowned artist and illustrator Pomme Chan, who has collaborated with brands such as Marc Jacobs, Mercedes-Benz and Urban Outfitters, Stories Ceramics offers fine, delicately-designed ceramic pieces. Each piece is so astonishing that they can double as home decor.
See more on Stories Ceramics’ Facebook page or @storiesceramics on Instagram.
This popular home decor and collectibles shop offers a wide range of cool design products, some of which you didn’t even know you need. Their range of plates are no different. Check out Italian brand Seletti’s Hybrid collection, which reflects a combination of ancient historic Western and Eastern ceramic production; or the Cosmic Diner collection, a series of porcelain plates printed with images of planets.
