Best of Three: Colorful Modern Dinnerware

Best of Three. Why not embrace color for the dining table? A meal is a feast for the senses! Three modern choices do battle here today...which will reign supreme?
Clockwise From Top Left:

Sieger Emperor's Garden, the serving plate is $275

Tord Boontje's Table Stories, the charger is $68

Taika by Klaus Haapaniemi, the dinner plate is $38

I wouldn't want to eat off any of these plates; they're so busy that food would be unappetizing on them. But they'd be pretty as chargers.

I checked out your link, and the Seiger Emperor's Garden plate is not a dinner plate, but a serving plate. And it's $275

Just checked your Boontje link, and it is the 2 side plates that cost $68 (or 1 "deco" plate, whatever that is). The dinner plates costs $80 for 2; they only have one set left, in plain white. They don't list the cost for any of the other dinner plates, in either Table Story 1, 2, 3, or 4. All they have are side plates, deco plates (small chargers?), soup and rice bowls. How strange -- it seems as if they won't be carrying them...?

thanks monika1, i was generally just trying to show representative pieces from three lines of colorful dinnerware, and listed the prices for dinner plates for each as a benchmark, but i can see that is a bit confusing...i'm adjusting the price info now...
