Hobyo — once a Somali sultanate port connecting Arabia, India, and East Africa across the Indian Ocean — lends its name and its weight of vanished history to this bone-china dinner plate by CTRLZAK Studio for Seletti's Hybrid New Era series.
On the largest canvas in any table setting, the Hybrid collision is impossible to ignore. Chinoiserie florals and scrolling cloud-bands face off against baroque heraldic geometry across a single vivid seam — the most deliberate mark on the piece. CTRLZAK's premise is architectural: these two traditions don't blend; they confront. A dinner plate, usually the most passive object on a table, becomes the argument's stage.
In Dubai and across the Gulf, Hobyo's story is not abstraction — the Indian Ocean trade routes this city once anchored pass through the region's own history. That resonance belongs on a table that takes design as seriously as food: a private dining room, a design-led restaurant, or a tablescape assembled plate by plate from Seletti's deliberately non-matching Hybrid cities.

Fine porcelain tableware with a durable vitrified body and hard, glazed, food-safe surface. It resists staining and odour, but can chip on impact or crack under sudden thermal shock; plain undecorated porcelain is microwave-safe, while any gold, platinum or metallic detailing must never be microwaved, and porcelain is not for the oven or freezer.
Care: Hand-wash decorated pieces in warm water with mild soap and a soft sponge, then dry immediately; wash promptly after acidic or strongly coloured foods.
Avoid: Microwave use on metallic detailing; the oven and freezer; sudden hot-cold changes; abrasive pads, steel wool, scouring powders, undiluted bleach, knocks and drops.
Suitable for: Formal dining, everyday table settings, tea and coffee service, plated starters and desserts.
HYBRID stages a collision of worlds on fine bone porcelain. Created by Seletti with CTRLZAK studio, each piece splits down a bold coloured line: Eastern chinoiserie — peonies, dragons, willow trees — on one side, European heraldic ornament on the other.
