Setting the table has never been so much fun with Soo Kwon's dining set. The Plus Minus system of bowls and plates makes portion control simple! The design employs a visual trick that helps you eat more healthfully.
Plates that are sized for large portions stack up to a short, fat tower. Plates that are sized for small portions, however, stack up to a lean tower. In this way, the Plus Minus Dining System reflects your body shape before you even sit down to eat!
In my book, it’s a win-win situation. The set is beautifully designed with a interesting Plus Minus signature, and it helps you with your diet. After a meal, the stacked plates let you easily see whether you are gaining or losing weight.
