Slovenian Tableware Design
POP-UP DINNERS / EXHIBITION
From time immemorial eating has been a ritualistic practice and closely related to design, be it as an everyday ritual or a special, sensory experience with a concept. It is on this premise that we have decided to launch a project titled DESIGN DINING: Slovenian Tableware Design, undertaken by the Museum for Architecture and Design in cooperation with the Centre for Creativity under the auspices of the Distributed Design Market Platform, to join the stories of design and gastronomy into a unique dining experience by chef Jakob Pintar from TaBar in cooperation with select designers. Based on their shared values of local, sustainable, sensory and ritualistic, the design and culinary mindset were combined into a nine-course vegetarian menu featuring a new, limited series of unique tableware pieces by nine designers and designer collectives. The concept for each dish was developed and complemented hand in hand with the idea of an individual design piece, with the focus on simple, local ingredients and materials as well as experimental forms and bold flavors. This culinary voyage, however, is not the only result of the Slovenian Tableware Design programme, as the newly created designs are being exhibited at home and abroad.
