Domestic, a French based housewares design company started in 2005, has asked several internationally known up and coming artists to create a fantastical collection of plates which bring more excitement to any food added. The graphic nature of each plate is pervaded by a street sensabilty and color punch you in the face feeling. As much as I’m dying to have these plates on my own table, I’m holding off until the dollar recovers because at 53 Euros per plate (which is what? about $4000?) I could only see myself getting nervous any time my son crawls within ten feet. If only I had a china cabinet.
