Designer Helen Waites has come up with this brilliant Fake Riches Cabinet, which not only allows your dishes to stand in as artwork when not in use, but also adds some grandeur to what would otherwise be plain white plates. The cabinet has two layers, a back rack and an overlying glass face, which is decorated with pale blue patterns of the type often seen on antique plates. The white plates cause the designs to pop out, giving the impression that you actually have antique china in the display. We disagree with the possibility of gaining a "sense of worth" from such a cabinet, but that doesn't mean we like it any less.
