There is nothing better than preparing food with and for our community!
Wine leaves from our vineyard, stuffed with rice, dried fruits, and almonds, served with labneh and mint oil 🍇🌱

Red has long been used by large food brands such as Mc Donald’s or Coca Cola to activate appetite and speed up decisions. Not as an aesthetic choice, but as a functional one.
We find it interesting to extract mechanisms from a commercial context and reapply them to curated, temporary experiences.
For a red dinner series, we imagined a table-long, inflated red lamp, inspired by traditional paper lanterns, combined with layers of red paint to exaggerate the idea and push it towards a clear, almost excessive outcome.
Same colour, different intention.
For @alessi_official and its espresso coffee maker MDL02 Pulcina, designed by architect Michele de Lucchi, we conceived and produced an image campaign exploring the object’s distinctive stepped silhoette. Pulcina’s formal language was interpreted through three sweets designed as companions to coffee. In this post you see the grey cheesecake inspired form with a touch of silver, and a red strawberry jelly referencing the color of the handle.
The project resulted in a short stop motion video and a series of still lifes, using food as a medium to extend form, color and material language beyond the object itself.
Elements of travel, cloudy skies and window outlooks were the starting point for the table setup we created for @carlfriedrik and the launch of their Aluminium Luggage Line in London. We transformed their Regent Street store into a temporary air travel inspired dinner setting with aluminium tones, reflective surfaces and cloud like candycotton. Somewhere between window views, luggage pieces and airplane mode, guests moved through the evening over a menu by @elliothashtroudi It was soso exciting to realise our first project in London! To many more adventures!

Cracking open one of the most ancient ingredients in human history: the egg. So fertile yet fragile, edible and diverse, something to be tasted yet something to be held with care. Together with @atelierbarb and their beautiful objects, we hosted an evening exploring the egg and its many forms.
Thank you to our team, @danatws for curating the wines, @tatianab.photos for taking the pictures and of course @atelierbarb , @hbayindir_ and @designerinthekitchen , for joining forces! 🥚
Some recent kitchen explorations with these delicate, heart shaped blossoms from our Judas Tree.
Their taste is honeyed and lightly fresh, with a gentle acidity and, believe us, it makes you feel like a bee.
We worked with them in many forms, fresh, set into jellies, dried, pickled and reduced.
Here are some of our favorite outcomes:
Judas Tree blossoms
1, 2 set into honey jelly with their blossom essence and lemon oil
10 pickled buds on steamed daikon with gorgonzola cream and their reduced blossom syrup
8 served fresh with labneh, pear, peas and a pear and pea juice
13, 17 turned into a blossom syrup for drinks with lemon or lavender, with a blossom sugar rim and frozen blossom ice
15, 19 composed into a sweet broth, also carrying fresh blossoms, pickled buds, gorgonzola cream and honey
Transparency is often treated as the absence of material. A way to disappear, to not interfere.
But used intentionally, it does the opposite. It holds shape without competing. It lets the space speak while still asserting presence: Through form, through repetition, through the way light catches an edge.
In this concept visualization, we imagined a raw industrial space that already had weight. The choice to work with a fully transparent table, chairs, and glassware wasn’t about minimalism. It was about finding a material that could be monolithic in its consistency without ever fighting the room.
Same logic, different register than colour.
Not absence, just a different kind of presence.
Everything egg this Easter. We have always had a thing for eggs, their perfect form, their fragile yet fertile nature. A tiny container of life. This time, we’ve filled it with asparagus, sprouts, and edible flowers, on pea cream with a beurre noisette crumble and curry caviar.

Spring is here, breaking all kinds of colors and flavors free.
We colored things up with @wmf Fusiontec pots®, Alteo cutlery, and of course, loads of jellies.

Red, spicy, and fermented. For this edition of Open Kitchen, @pengs.es introduced us to the complex world of Chinese cuisine and flavors. Together, we developed a menu that highlights its main characteristics while adding some fofo twists. Two highlights: the pickle painting on silken tofu cream, and tea egg with chilli oil.
Inspired by traditional Chinese lanterns, we created an 8 m long light object spanning the entire table, bathing the space in a deep red light.
A big thank you to @nedgulcan for curating such delicious wines for the evening, and to @luiseunser for your help.
