Orla Kiely is apparently a person that some people know exists. Not a name I'd heard of. But Target's now got a line of kitchenware designed by her.

Isn't melamine the stuff I ate off of as a kid? If I'm not remembering wrong, I'm kind of surprised that they haven't come up with something new since then.

But I do like that design.

Yeah, melamine is the old school plastic ware stuff. It allows for the colorful, sharp design and is sturdy stuff (usually, anyway, I haven't handled these). Regular plastic plates they came up with since then aren't as good.

I actually went to Target a few days ago looking for the Orla Kiely storage boxes but they were out. I think my office need them.

I like her designs quite a bit. I have an Orla Kiely wallet that is one of my all-time favorites wallets as well as a fantastic sweater I got at a steal.

Just a historic note: Melamine fell out of favor in the 70's after the introduction of microwave ovens. The original Melamine from was not microwave safe. They have now reformulated it so that you can use it safely in your microwave... Hence, the resurgence.

One of the reviews I read on those dishes said it was either not microwave safe or dishwasher safe - I forget which. Read the box first if that makes a difference to you.

They say not for microwave and dishwasher top rack only.
