Dinnerware from Driade Kosmo

I saw some gorgeous dinnerware from Driade Kosmo in In Style magazine. I went to the site to see what else they had, and fell in love. Here are a few of my favorite collections:


There's something charming about a salad bowl with legs. Victoria, designed by Oscar Tusquets.

I love the simple symmetry of these pieces from the Bazaar collection.

Oh so Bohemian. Von by Bořek Šĭpek.

Bottna Dinnerware

Marimekko's graphic black lilypad pattern looks as good on this classic porcelain set as it did on a sofa.

Bottna dinnerware from Anthropologie, $22-$32 per piece.

Table-less Dining Done Right

The picnic season is fast approaching and dining outdoors is getting a little bit easier thanks to designer Wolf Udo Wagner. Urbana, his light-weight dining set for urban eating al-fresco, is a wonderful alternative to wasteful paper plates or toting around your good china.

Each plate comes with a multi-use utensil which functions not only as fork, knife, and spoon, but also as an integrated handle which turns the plate into a tray. The plates can be turned facing one another and locked with a screw, holding the accompanying cups and utensils inside.

Urbana products are for sale at Simplicitas.com, a Swedish design site; however, when I clicked the “buy” button, I got an “under construction” error. It sounds as though the product will be officially available starting this May.
