Nature is served
Designer Nao Tamura's Seasons containers were so well received at last month's Milan Salone — the be-all and end-all of annual design events — that they won the SaloneSatellite Award. Finding inspiration in the traditional Japanese technique of serving food on carved-out produce or wrapping it in leaves, Seasons aims to bring a touch of green to your table setting. Tamura's Seasons are made of silicone, which assures a light yet sturdy form that is also flexible, making the leaf-shaped range of dishes easy to roll up. Best of all, they can be used in a microwave oven and cleaned in a dishwasher. No word yet on pricing or availability, but the designer is currently working on production pieces and tells us that a release should come soon.
