THERE ARE THOSE
who like
to give to charity quietly—
dashing off a check, say, after
a visit to an orphanage. But
for those who like to support
good works and raise aware-
ness simultaneously, there
may be no better way than to
purchase, and serve dessert
on, these artist-designed plates
from Azuero. The set of six features
artwork by Teresita Fernández, April
Gornik, Mary Heilmann, Maya Lin,
Richard Prince and Ed Ruscha, and the
influences range from optical illusions
to landscapes to pop art. Proceeds
benefit the Azuero Earth
Project, which works to build
sustainable housing,
manage waste and
restore forests and
animal habitats in
Panama. No choco-
late cake on earth
could make
that
look sinful.
