Philips Design Probe has teamed up with restaurant Arzak to create Multi-Sensorial Gastronomy – a series of crockery that transforms the experience of eating.
The term ‘molecular gastronomy’ defines a cuisine where chefs take inspiration from science and research. Beyond merely serving food on crisp, white plates, this bone china series is designed to react to food. As liquid is poured into the Lunar Eclipse bowl, a glow begins to appear from the bottom. Light begins to appear as soon as food makes contact with both the Fama long plate and the Tapa de Luz serving plate.
The series involves the integration of lighting, conductive printing, selective fragrance discharge, micro-vibration and electro stimulus among other sensory stimuli that all create an altered and interactive dining experience. The hope is that the project will generate discussion and debate about the fusion of technology and food in the future.
