Maxplates 9.75”

Date 1964 | Lella & Massimo Vignelli

The foundation of well-designed dining—where generous proportions meet genius storage solutions. This nearly 10-inch dinner plate combines full-size functionality with revolutionary stacking technology, featuring an interlocking rim system that transforms multiple plates into compact towers. Large enough for your most ambitious culinary presentations yet engineered for minimal cabinet footprint.

This is the plate that started a revolution. When Alan Heller launched this Vignelli-designed dinnerware in 1971, it became Heller's inaugural product and an instant design icon. From winning the Compasso d'Oro to joining permanent collections at MoMA and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this stackable dinnerware has earned its place in design history while solving real-world kitchen organization challenges.

Crafted from virtually indestructible melamine that maintains its bold appearance through countless meals, each plate is FDA-safe, BPA-free, BPS-free, and dishwasher safe (top rack recommended). The lightweight, shatterproof construction makes these plates ideal for indoor and outdoor use—from weeknight dinners to backyard barbecues, camping trips to poolside parties. This is modern dinnerware designed to be used, enjoyed, and passed down through generations.
