Table Palette Model & Sketch, Kiki van Eijk
The Total Table Design project which premiered at Dutch Design Fair Object Rotterdam earlier this year came to Salone del Mobile Furniture Fair in Milan this week. In the exhibition Dutch designers Kiki van Eijk and Studio Scholten & Baijings (Stefan Scholten and Carole Baijings) present their visions for the art of dining.
Table Palette, Kiki van Eijk
“In contemporary dining culture one encounters worlds of difference. From here to Timbuktu, masses of people jab little plastic forks into the trademark red and yellow cartons, while experiments in molecular gastronomy are served on specially designed crockery that results in another aesthetic immersion reserved for the happy few.” comments the designers.

In the Total Table Design the designers present table linen, glassware, ceramic tableware and cutlery. The designers worked with Royal Leerdam Crystal for glassware, Koninklijke Van Kempen & Begeer for cutlery/table accessories and the Audax Textile Museum Tilburg for table linen.
