About Entrèe Conjunto de Mesa Multifuncional

As formas e as cores remetem aos tradicionais macarons franceses, enquanto a função atende aos pratos do dia a dia. Os elementos podem ser combinados de diferentes maneiras, funcionando como prato e tampa, prato e bandeja, ou como peça central de mesa. O conjunto é feito artesanalmente em cerâmica e madeira torneada, nas cores rosa candy, turquesa, amarelo e branco, com acabamentos em esmalte dourado. Quando fechado, o conjunto transforma-se em um objeto decorativo.

Production Technology
The collection is handcrafted in ceramic and turned wood.
Design Challenge
The design challenge was to create a multi-functional object whose shapes are inspired by the typical French macaroons. The table collection had to be multi-functional: to be used as a piece of furniture when closed or as a set for the everyday table when it is broken down.
Research
The project was carried out by a craftsman who works with ceramics, making each element by hand. Even the wooden tray is made by a turner who works every single piece by hand. Each element is complementary made so that it can fit together perfectly. The goal was to create a product that is beautiful to look at and useful in everyday life
Inspiration
Entrée are tableware ispired to the France, consisting of 3 elements: Plate, Tray and Cover. The shapes and colors recall traditional French macarons but the function is designed to consume traditional dishes. The elements can be combined and used to present different types of flow rates.
Project Duration
The project started in 2016 in Florence and was exhibited in Vicenza at Open Design Italia, at the Salone del Mobile in April 2017 and at Edit Napoli 2019.
Operation Flow
A multifunctional system whose components act from time to time as a plate and lid, plate and backsplash, or plate, tray and centerpiece: a set that reveals always different uses to welcome gastronomic breaks in the name of a useful and at the same time playful design .
