"The last few years have seen their fair share of food-inspired design- lemon-shaped vases, asparagus candles, butter yellow kitchens, and tomato-core everything, anyone? But there's something timeless about the classic shape of the cabbage in particular-so much so that Vogue just declared 2026 the ' year of the cabbage '. The underrated vegetable is a healthy and hearty winter staple, and its intricate veining and ruffled edges provide a texture that's as beautiful to look at as it is to eat."
"Take the ceramic shapes of Bordallo Pinheiro's dinnerware. The Portuguese brand has been around since 1884 and is best known for its lighthearted take on the leafy green vegetable-in fact, it's one of the few items our team unanimously adores. The verdant dinnerware has inspired countless other iterations in that vein- Tiffany and Co. even has a version with leaves molded out of sterling silver-so whether it's a mug or a serving platter, there's an option for all tablescapes."
Cabbage shapes have become a prominent motif in food-inspired design thanks to their intricate veining and ruffled edges. Vogue declared 2026 the ' year of the cabbage '. Bordallo Pinheiro has popularized playful ceramic cabbageware since 1884, inspiring many iterations including sterling-silver leaves from Tiffany & Co. The palette expands beyond green to vibrant peony pink, encouraging mixed, maximalist tablescapes. Designers and vintage finds offer both ceramic and cast-silver options, from serving platters to centerpiece bowls, suitable for casual snacks or formal entertaining.
