The project focuses on the research and development of new tableware forms for the hospitality market, particularly high-end casual restaurants and cafés. Building upon the sponsor’s design philosophy, it explores bold, unconventional forms that reimagine food presentation—encouraging diners to share their meals on social media, thereby strengthening the restaurant’s brand identity.
Guided by this approach, three distinct collections were developed: Fresh Peeks, Cultural Oasis, and Modern Minimal. Fresh Peeks draws inspiration from the playful and lively forms found in nature. Cultural Oasis reinterprets Indian and Middle Eastern heritage elements into modern, functional tableware. Modern Minimal explores geometric relationships to create chic and classy forms.
The project also includes a live client collaboration, documenting the challenges encountered in batch production and the solutions implemented to ensure successful order fulfilment.
