Steinbeisser
are the creative duo behind Experimental
Gastronomy, the unique design and dining project bringing together famous
chefs and artists for one-of-a-kind culinary experiences. We spoke to them back
in September 2016 to find out more about their project.
The
above gallery highlights some of the dinners that have already taken place
during the project, including: Amsterdam with chefs Jef Schuur and Luc Kusters,
Basel with chef Tanja Grandits, San
Francisco with chefs David Kinch, Corey Lee and Daniel Patterson and Berlin with chefs Nobelhart & Schmutzig.
The
dinners showcase contemporary cuisine at the highest level, uniting design,
gastronomy, and nature. Each dinner is entirely plant-based using food and
drink sourced from local organic and biodynamic producers and eaten using
artist created cutlery and dishware celebrating experimentation and creative
ways to enjoy food.
If
you fall in love with any of the pieces check out the Steinbeisser online store
Jouw… which showcases their collection of extraordinary cutlery and tableware
created by more than 25 international artists created during the five years of Experimental Gastronomy.
