Don’t be fooled: when someone asks you to pass the gravy, it’s customary to put down your flatware, finish whatever you’re chewing and send that boat for a little sail down the table. However, in this instance, your impeccable table manners would result in ‘man overboard’ along with the rest of the contents of this trompe l’œil tablecloth.
Industrial designers, MAEZM have created the ‘table-dish-cover’; made from injection-moulded silicon the tablecloth replaces the need for serving dishes and can be washed and dried once you’re done. It was a short-listed winner of designboom’s MACEF dining in 2015 competition and is available in white.
It’s just like dining with the Dalís.
