DON’T PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD
By what means can one cultivate creativity, provoke experimentation, and entice the senses through food and the preparation of food? The conceptual project “Don’t play with your food” attempts to answer this question. The eight products made of porcelain, oak, and aluminum assist in preparing food in unexpected, playful ways as well as engendering a sensual understanding of food.
The bachelor thesis "Don't play with your food" was developed in collaboration with Franziska Brusa.
