Sleek in design and clean in implementation, Argentinean designer Gabriel Contino has devised an amazing plate for eating while standing up. The plate is designed almost like a wide cup to hold in your hand, with a holder for a glass of wine on the front so that you can manipulate your way casually across the party floor without spilling a drop. What is sort of funny about these plates is that (essentially) someone would be able to hold two at a time. Image your butler walking around with two

plates of hors d’oeuvres and fresh glasses of Beaujolais nouveau! Will you look more debonair with Contino?s plates? Will your dinner party have something everyone can use to break the ice? Will you suddenly be the slickest dinner host in town? Yes, on all counts. – via This is a post from the Freshome Magazine , who bring you the latest news in Interior Design, Decorating, Furniture and Architecture. Stand Up and Eat: Plates for Parties
