MODERN CULINARY CERAMIC SET
NEW FOOD EXPERIENCE WITH CERAMIC DESIGN
I designed the “Modern Culinary Ceramic Set” with the concept of create new food experience with ceramic design.
From the research, based on Indian eating habit, the food is meant to be a whole sensory experience of their country, it reflects traditionally Indian culture consumes a lots of spices which curry, rice and naan bread are the most popular dishes and widely eaten all over the country.
From observation, most Indian restaurants used circular stainless steel called “Thali” to serve food, which included varieties of curry, rice and biryani.
This is the reason that I wondered how can I blend the design to create new eating experiences without using stainless. According to Thailand, the use of ceramics is widespread in restaurants or even in the home use. A variety of shape and form, applications, also the patterns that enhance a more enjoyable meal.
OVAL SHAPE
The first is come through the stacking form, by the shape of an oval, with the concave cut to fit on both sides, and splicing together, still be ably retaining the original forms. The design appearance comes from the look and feels of the stone, and take a consideration of Indian eating habit, which national dish is curry, rice and naan bread, the section can be adapted and put on user’s convenience.
I selected the shiny black colour to remind the feeling of stones, also contrast with the food’s colour shade, like nan bread, red curry or rice, also the powerful and more attractive.
HEXAGONAL SHAPE
Next is hexagonal shape, with the concave circle cut inside the form, after the sixth form is finished then cutting the straight vertical in every sixth angle make it balance all along the sides. The design is the same concept as the first one, which is taken up together, it give the impression of a tower, which is the method proposed can be used singly or in combination as a set. Giving different mood, depending on the users need.
The blue splashing colour represented an abstract artist, out of painting direction with blue shading up from the bottom cut into white. Remind the feeling of freshness, bright and fun within itself.
ECLIPSE SHAPE
The third is the eclipse form, stackable from a large to small size, feels like the water drop that drip gradually between rhythmic. Design to supports a variety of edible plated according to each type of food.
The white colour at the tips of the workpiece. Demonstrate by putting the large to small workpieces with equal space. Give the feeling the continuous rhythm, gentle and attractiveness.
