These Japanese leaf plates are made of silicone and designed to look like the real thing. Flexible, microwable and dishwasher safe, these leaf plates were designed by Nao Tamura and are as beautiful as they are functional.

Called Seasons, the plates are reminiscent of South India where they serve food on banana leaves and Greece where grape leaves are stuffed with rice. For Nao, these plates are a homage to the Japanese spring treats wrapped in cherry leaves she enjoyed growing up. 

Do you like these leaf plates or do you prefer plates you can play with or conjoined ones decorated with giant skycrapers?
