This might be the closest your dinner table will ever get to performance art. When Marina Abramović created her limited edition four-piece porcelain plate sets for Bernardaud, her intention was to make dinnerware that helps us savor and ritualize our meals. Each motif closely reflects the artist's personal life. "To me, the act of eating implies pure simplicity, so I used decorations that are minimal and personal," she says.

She calls the two sets "misfits" because each set has plates that vary in size, shape and pattern. Together, the sets can be used to serve what Abramović calls a "Misfit Dinner for Two", or they can be used separately to serve "A Lonely Dinner for One." This set includes a dinner plate featuring the artist's own family crest and a small bread plate adorned with a detail from her artwork Golden Lips from 2009. The star-shaped dish and the silver moon serving platter represent the artist's fascination with the universe. Set of four.
