With Suggestions, chefs can express his creations, and the costumer can enjoy each service as a little piece of art.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This collection focuses on solve the needs of chefs. It's a very extensive collection where you can find items made for sharing on a center table. And items that solve specific situations like the water drops of melted ice. Keep the fresh of caviar on the table. Hide the mess while eating shells like mussels, escargots... and mimic the color finishes with the shells colours. Items for making a buffet more dynamic, easy and enjoyable with little lilies made of porcelain that allow to eat stand up in a comfortable way. When eating a nice meat piece, on each cut you can see the fluids acumaled at the bottom of you plate, we solve that problem with a nice irregular dot texture wich separates the fluids from your meat. In short; a collection were each piece have a reason and it's not all about shapes.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The main quality of this tableware is show the chef creations as good as possible and also keep this food in optimal conditon for best expirience of the final user.
One perfect example is the amaze, this dish keeps the ice separated from the melted water. Then the ice keep his frozen form more time and the food never gets soaked. 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.
