About Suggestions 餐具

《Suggestions》是一套为专业厨房打造的瓷质餐具系列。每一件器物都回应着具体的上菜需求，而非流于形式的构想。其中一款餐盘可在隐藏的储水槽上方盛放冰块，使融化的冰水远离食物。另一版本则可容纳干冰，为寿司等菜品降温并释放出轻盈的雾气。还有一款器皿能让鱼子酱置于冰上而两者互不混杂。带有不规则圆点纹理的餐盘可将肉汁与食物分离。小巧的瓷质托盘让客人在站立时也能舒适进食。该系列还专门研发了窑变反应釉。

Also in amaze we find a version that you can put carbonic ice in the inside keeping the food (sushi for example) cool and giving a nices fresh smoke that makes a new whole experience. We also find the chill, this items are made for serving caviar on ice but with total secury of not mixing it.
At the same time this collection plays with the senses of the final uses, the vision with nice and unexpected presentations. Smell with the possibility of introduce aromas, and finally the touch, with items made to be hold and enjoy eating with the dish on your hands.
