I’ll be honest—I bought the Seletti Hybrid Dinner Plate Hobyo mostly because it looked interesting in photos. I needed something to replace my chipped white plates, and this one caught my eye with its mix of patterns. When it arrived, I was surprised by how substantial it felt. The porcelain has a nice weight to it, and the 27.5cm size is perfect for a proper dinner portion without looking overcrowded.

What I didn’t expect was how much I’d enjoy just looking at it. The blend of Eastern and Western designs isn’t just decorative—it tells a story. I found myself tracing the patterns with my finger while waiting for water to boil, noticing details I’d missed before. It turned out better than I thought, becoming more than just a plate but a little piece of art for my table.

I’ve used it for everything from casual weeknight dinners to when friends come over. Everyone comments on it—it’s that kind of piece. The only downside is it’s not microwave-safe, which I learned the hard way (oops). But hand-washing is fine, and honestly, it feels like it deserves that little bit of extra care.

If you’re looking for something tha brings some personality to your table, you can view product here. It’s definitely an investment at $120, but for something I use and admire daily, it feels worth it. The CTRLZAK design team really created something special—a plate that serves food and conversation equally well.
