The texture of the U-Plate coffee grounds series fruit plates comes from coffee grounds dyeing. Recycled coffee grounds are smoked and dyed in an environmentally friendly way. Each texture is unique. The elliptical rim of the top of the injection-molded ceramic plate is deformed into a special arc due to high-temperature firing.
