About Entrèe Multifunctional Table Set
Entree is a multifunctional table set inspired by the traditions of France. The set has three elements: a plate, a tray and a cover. The shapes and colors recall traditional French macarons, while the function supports everyday dishes. The elements can be combined in different ways, working as plate and lid, plate and tray, or as a centerpiece. The set is handcrafted in ceramic and turned wood, in candy pink, turquoise, yellow and white, with golden enamel finishes. When closed, the set becomes a decorative object.

- 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.
- 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 .
- 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
