Owen Davey: Royal Plateful

In response to the fuss sur­round­ing the Royal Wedding, Orange: The Feed, asked Owen Davey to cre­ate a series of plates to com­mem­o­rate the “not-so-special moments of the gen­eral pub­lic.” So they put a call out on twit­ter for sub­mis­sions, and received gems like “I walked a husky through the blue­bells” and “I talk to my cats too much but they never answer back.” This process resulted in 33 unique plate designs (art directed by Katie who works at Poke), each cel­e­brat­ing the some­what mun­dane occa­sions of real life, that were sent to their right­ful owners.

    I stum­bled across your blog about a week ago and couldn’t be more pleased. Your posts are thought­ful and ultra unique and I have been book­mark­ing (read: pin­ning) your picks like crazy! These plates are funny and intri­cately stun­ning (rarely are funny things also attrac­tive) and I am wowed! Thank you!
