Lisa Bengtsson grew up in a little town, called Gnosjö, in Southern Sweden. Her main source of inspiration is people and she strives to invoke feeling through colors, forms, patterns and typography.

She is probably best known for her whimsical line of wallpapers. Her most popular, Familjen (which means, Family), features empty picture frames and invites people to tell their own stories by filling them in.

Lisa won the Elle Interiör "Shooting Star" design award in February, 2009 and launched her new collection of plates at Milan Design Week this past April.

Her new Friend Platter features a stark design of black-and-white roses and seems to communicate that while friends may come in all shapes and sizes, they are all beautiful.

The platter measures 12.5" in diameter (32 cm) and is both machine washable and microwave safe. Silkscreen printed ornamentation with glazing color, burned in 1200 degrees Celsius on real feldspar porcelain. Made in Sweden
