DINNER’S READY!

CONCEPT

A unique piece for a dreamy mise en place, rich and majestic in the centre of the table. Dinner is served, the challenge is to consume it. Dinner’s ready is a unique object that stands at the centre of the table, born from the idea of taking the concept of sharing and the collective consumption of food to the extreme, so extreme that it becomes impossible. It is a project that contrasts drastically with the seriousness of the design, which in a completely clear-cut way, wants to be judged for its uselessness. Completely made of glass and composed of twelve symmetrical arms around a central fulcrum, Dinner’s ready is designed to have the necessary products for a dinner with six guests: six food cups, six goblets and a pitcher. Dinner’s ready is an extremely flexible product, despite its high-impact aesthetics, its symmetry means that it can have different versions with respect to how many guests are at the table, and the aesthetics of sharing and unity can make the product live in different environments than the reason for which it was created.

Dinner’s ready is a project designed for Antitesi in occasion of the exhibition at the Church of Sant’Ambrogio della Vittoria in Parabiago, Milan from 30 September to 08 October 2023.

Dinner’s ready was exhibiting during design week at Alcova - Villa Bagatti Valsecchi Varedo, Milan from 15 April to 21 April 2024.
