Feeding The Senses



Intriguing concept by world renowned Michelin star chef Juan Mari Arzak and Philips.

"Designed to not only delight palates, but also evoke emotion and stimulate the senses, the three design concepts – Lunar Eclipse (bowl), Fama (long plate) and Bocado de Luz (serving plate) demonstrate how unobtrusive new functions can be incorporated into familiar objects to dynamically alter the sensory experience during a meal. The simple act of placing food on the plates or pouring liquid into the bowl triggers sensory stimuli and causes them to react."

Polderceramics



I love these amazing ceramics by Atelier NL. I feel like looking at a Vermeer painting.

The story : at the invitation of Jurgen Bey and Rianne Makkink the designers took up residence in the Noordoostpolder region of central Netherlands, to study the social and agricultural nuances of the region. Atelier NL’s Drawn From Clay series were made from a specific plod of soil taken from each of the different farms they accessed across the 460 square kilometre polder.
