Artisans of Living I

SERIES 1 | The Dining Ritual

In 2026 we celebrate 29 years of craft with a series of small shop installations titled "Artisans of living"

We start our series with a table setting. Nutrition is an important part of a healthy life and of course of beauty, because beauty comes from within, isn't it? In a world of processed, sophisticated cuisine overwhelmed by eccentricity and fusions, most often we have no idea what is on our plates. We want to remind of the concept of back to basics "eat to live and do not live to eat". Food should be at best a reason to gather your family around and strengthen old traditions. The origin of the crop and the state it is found in your plate is relevant today. Thus, we want you to "digest" the idea that food is eaten for sustenance

Our artisan potters created a table setting that is subtle, with classic traditional basic shapes most familiar to us all, made by hand from porcelain and refined in its utmost detail. What is on the plate should be in focus and should be savoured without interference

Simplicity is the hardest to be achieved but it has the ability to enrich ones perception the most. No cutlery in sight, that will be left to your imagination...
