For the month March we asked Mitch Iburg about the Mountain plates he created for Steinbeisser, how he tries to understand humankind’s relationship to clay, and the value of handmade tableware.
Can we be blunt? (please say yes!)
Well let’s say we can… OK, here it goes: quite honestly most of the dishware and cutlery used in restaurants are dull. So, there we said it. But what can we do about it? Well maybe more than you think. Since 2012 we organize with Steinbeisser the Experimental Gastronomy events for which we ask international artists to create unique plates, bowls, spoons, forks, glasses and much more. To give you an idea what we mean with unique please have a look at the images below.
With the success of our Steinbeisser events and seeing how excitingly the audience responds to these new kind of dishware and cutlery we believe now is the time to integrate these pieces into our eating culture. In our opinion, restaurants (or anyone else in the world of food and drinks for that matter) should give tableware and eating tools just as much thought as the actual food served to create an all encompassing experience.
If you are interested in how we could help you make this happen please contact us.
