They say “MainStays” and “Made in China” on the back…
I think “MainStays” is a Walmart Brand.

Those are what I eat out of at work. Love 'em
I’m confounded by Ikea’s soon-to-arrive designer blates!

Those are cool!! I wonder how much they are going to cost??
The plates are $30 (and obviously taste is very personal but I have to admit I find them quite ugly and remind me of dog bowls)

Those look like somebody predicted in 1959 what we’d be eating on in the year 2000.

What’s the point? Do they fit in the slots of a dishwasher, or do you have to wash them by hand?
I’ve only had them in one restaurant, and hated the experience!
Yeah. Or hospital plate ware. Is it all made of plastic?

And they were only a quarter century off! O tempora, o mores.
As much as I like my blates, these look like IKEA caved to having AI design slop for them to sell.

I thought the exact same thing. The candlesticks look like something out of Dr. Seuss. And is that a…meatball server? Is there a big demand for those?
You could put all kinds of … ball-shaped things in that one: olives, cherry tomatoes, falafel, deviled eggs. Or long shaped things — like a few asparagus spears, or raw tagliatelle/fettuccine

$30 for the set, or for 1? That seems high for Ikea pricing, but I also having visited an Ikea for a while. If you want “blates” - or I prefer rimmed plates - go to your nearest big Asian market that also sells kitchenware and pick them up for about $10 a piece. Usually way cuter designs. You can certainly go high-end and get unique pieces or hand-made ceramic pieces for more money too, but this Ikea stuff looks like a generic plate.
I’ll wait until the IKEA plate/bowl/place mat things show up at Goodwill; its only a matter of time!
Just like air fryers and insta-pots; the place is overflowing with those.
If I understand their webpage correctly (it isn’t written in the best way), it is $30 (or exactly $29.99) for one plate (it is is from a very well known design studio)
Not impressed, but I guess I’m not Ikea’s only customer. 
They don’t seem to look much nicer than these, IMO, and I prefer the “boring” standard colors here, if we are doing a solid colored plate:
Is this that studio’s usual MO for design? It all looks like something a 3D printer could spit out.

Yes, Gustav Westman is well known for colorful and chunky design
That is EXACTLY the right description of these. Well done!
