Glass Cradling Plates

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Catering Set by KABO&PYDO is Made for Cocktail Parties

— June 22, 2012 — Art & Design
Cocktail parties seem to highlight many flaws in the human makeup such as not being able to eat and talk at the same time and not having enough hands to carry all of the goodies that enable the former; the Catering Set by KABO&PYDO at least solves the latter. It is a paint palette-like plate that has a strategic cutout allowing a glass to be cradled in it, effectively freeing a hand to eat and converse comfortably.

The Catering Set by KABO&PYDO, which was founded by Katarzyna Borkowska and Tomasz Pydo, it comes with a plate and two sets of glasses, one for wine and the other for water or juice. The ripple in the plate is a nice aesthetic touch that also keeps the food away from the stem of the glass.
