The Design

About Suggestions Primaire functie: Serviesgoed

Suggestions is een porseleinen serviescollectie gemaakt voor professionele keukens. Elk stuk beantwoordt een praktische serveerbehoefte in plaats van een formeel idee. Eén schaal houdt ijs boven een verborgen reservoir, zodat gesmolten water uit de buurt van het voedsel blijft. Een tweede versie bevat droogijs om gerechten zoals sushi te koelen en een lichte damp vrij te laten komen. Een ander item houdt kaviaar op ijs zonder dat de twee zich vermengen. Borden met een onregelmatige stippentextuur scheiden vleessappen van het voedsel. Kleine porseleinen dienbladen stellen gasten in staat comfortabel te eten terwijl ze staan. Voor de collectie werden reactieve glazuren ontwikkeld.
