The TOO by Blu Dot is an exciting new collection of dish sets for Target, which adds humor and contemporary styles into kitchenware design.
The Duct Tape series, by far my favorite out of all the designs, looks like something a college student concocted when they were too broke to replace their damaged dishes. Wrinkled up duct tape prints cover the set, adding texture and a bit of comedy to the collection. The Ruse set has sink drains printed on the plates for an industrial style that explains how all the food finished so quickly.
For those who want a modern take on Chinaware, the TOO by Blu Dot Storyteller series features faded patterns that have an antiquated appeal.
