The Lux Collection, Fancy Plastic

Leave it to Philippe Starck to turn something as simple as plastic dinnerware into a chance for design. His Lux Collection brings the fancy to your more casual summer gatherings (or those large parties where things need to be kept light and easy to clean). The collection includes gold or silver plastic cutlery as well as plates that have a little projection that you can mount a Lux Collection glass, cup, bowl. Perfect for garden parties where you are often left standing with a glass in one hand, a plate in the other and no way to partake of either.  The nine-inch plates come in gold, silver, bronze and terracotta and sell for $20 for a package of six.
