Suggestions Tableware

Suggestions Tableware is an innovative porcelain tableware collection designed by Gemma Bernal that revolutionizes the presentation of haute cuisine by seamlessly fusing functional design with gastronomic creativity. This comprehensive collection, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware Design category, represents a paradigm shift in tableware design by prioritizing the practical needs of chefs and the enhancement of culinary presentations over purely aesthetic considerations. The collection features an extensive range of specialized pieces, each meticulously crafted to address specific culinary challenges and elevate dining experiences. Notable innovations include pieces with irregular dot textures to separate meat from its juices, specialized compartments for maintaining optimal temperature conditions for delicacies such as caviar, and ingenious solutions for serving shellfish while concealing discarded shells. The collection employs advanced production technologies, including isostatic pressing and high-pressure injection, combined with custom-developed reactive glazes to achieve its distinctive characteristics. Particularly noteworthy is the collection's attention to thermal management, exemplified by designs that separate melting ice from food items and incorporate hidden compartments for dry ice, creating both practical functionality and theatrical presentation possibilities. The collection's development involved extensive research and collaboration with professional chefs, resulting in pieces that not only serve as practical tools for culinary presentation but also inspire creative gastronomic expressions while considering the entire dining experience from service staff handling to end-user interaction.
