apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I recently bought a set of 12 from CB2 not exactly the same but similar.

pearl river has square plates.

You might find them in Pearl River Mart (477 Broadway).

Luna Garcia in Venice, CA

i'm not sure about NY but in SF there are tons of stores that sell japanese nik-naks that have plates similar to that. places like this http://www.daiso-sangyo.co.jp/english/ will have them

We have 6 sets of these from c&b and love them. Square with soft curves.

Refresh your table with water-colored glass, tempered for toughness in soft squares. Translucent blue lightens or deepens based on the color of its background.

Macy's has them too.

I once had square plates and found them to be really annoying to handwash. The shape is counterintuitive and tedious to handwash. And if you have a small sink, it makes it even harder. Just something to think about!

Bed Bath & Beyond, and Linens & things both sell square plates. Last time I was in a Target, they had some too. Also Pier 1.

We purchased a set of B.Smith square curved dinner plates at BB&B, see the link below. It looks like the ones in the show have a more severe edge and corner, though:

I wish the "square plate fad" would go away. They are so cumbersome and VERY easy to break.

nothing worth eating is square.

Crate and Barrel/CB2 have some. I've seen some very nice ones at Bed bath and Beyond, that were far less unweildy-looking.

I bought those exact plates, in cream, at C&B about two years ago. I don't use them all that often because I have the exact same problem the guy on the show does, but I have come up with a solution. I use the plates as kind-of mock bowls and eat my pasta with chopticks. Don't laugh, at least I get to use them now. It's hell trying to cut a piece of meat on them :)
