Small plates

Small plates can be regularly found on our dining tables and serve multiple functions. They can be part of a matching tableware set or bought separately to add contrast and color. Our range of Scandinavian retailers has designed small plates that bring you a wide selection of affordable choices in style, shape, and color.

The Functionality Of Small Plates

Where would we be without the convenience of small plates? If you take a minute to think, you will realize just how much you use them. Snack plates for that on-the-go sandwich, side plates for dips, or dessert plates for left-over gateau. Then there is the ‘small plate effect’—using small plates to cut down the portions we eat. A consumer research study found that people consumed less food using smaller plates. A place this is very obvious is when eating at a buffet. Who hasn’t piled their big plate up with every portion of food available? Offering smaller plates at a buffet reduces the waste and helps the waistline.

Small plates are also great for layering, and if you make them a contrasting color, shape, or pattern, they can make your dining table a reflection of your personal style.
