Dimpled Serving Dishes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Crate by Andrew Tanner has a Surface of Many Fruit Bowls in One

— June 19, 2011 — Art & Design
When apples arrive at the grocery store from the orchard, they often arrive in a box lined with something that resembles Crate by Andrew Tanner. The unusual-looking fruit bowl indeed takes a very familiar form, and one that succeeds at safely transporting your favorite fructose-rich food without harming their scrumptious crunchy quality.

The dimpled dish is essentially a sort of tray made up of a grid of tiny bowls, each the perfect size to gently embrace a peach, pear, plum or an orange. They keep these rounded edibles from rolling out and onto the counter top, and from bruising a poor piece of fruit at the bottom. Having said that, this ceramic "Crate" by Andrew Tanner allows you to construct playful pyramids within which to arrange your snacks.
Trend Themes
1. Dimpled Serving Dishes - The use of dimpled serving dishes as a way to effortlessly transport and preserve fruits or other edibles can lead to the development of more innovative ways to store and transport perishable items.
2. Modular Food Storage - Creating modular food storage units that allow consumers to create unique displays of their produce can be a way for businesses to offer innovative storage solutions and differentiate themselves from competitors.
3. Multi-purpose Food Containers - Designing multi-purpose food containers that can serve as both storage and serving dishes can increase convenience for consumers and open up new markets for businesses.
Industry Implications
1. Kitchenware - Kitchenware companies can explore the use of dimpled serving dishes and modular food storage units as a way to innovate and offer unique and convenient solutions to consumers.
2. Packaging - Packaging companies can use the concept of dimpled serving dishes as a packaging solution for transporting and preserving delicate edibles in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
3. Food Retail - Food retail companies can incorporate the use of multi-purpose food containers as a way to offer convenience to consumers and differentiate themselves from competitors.
