Of course, nothing compares to beautiful, long-lasting tableware, but for casual backyard BBQs, birthday parties, or those supposedly ‘intimate' family gatherings that mysteriously balloon into a 17-person affair, absolutely no one wants to spend the night handwashing dishes.
We've curated an edit of the chicest paper plates available right now to elevate your summer table with a beautiful (yet low-maintenance) look. A few names currently saving our summertime sanity include Table Two Studio, whose designs tap the retro cabbageware revival, alongside clever Etsy makers channeling the energy of a certain iconic Italian homewares house – all of whom have somehow managed to make paper plates look wonderfully luxurious.
