Reversed volumes, By mischer'traxler
'Reversed volumes' are bowls that are shaped by capturing the imprint of a fruit or a vegetable in ceramics. This project was developed by Katharina Mischer and Thomas Traxler from Studio mischer‘traxler for Food Marketo, a pop up shop organized by Design Marketo, Apartamento Magazine and Marion Friedmann during Milan Design Week 2010.
The designer duo played with volumes, shapes, textures and colors to realize a new direction for art of the table. The bowls are 3D vegetal imprints from cauliflower, cabbage, red beet, fennel, green apple, orange and yellow pepper etc. Once un-mould, each bowl keeps the unique imprint of the fruit / vegetable that has been used. The bowls also integrate the color of the fruits / vegetables.
The goal is eventually to see the fruit / vegetable from a different angle, but not only… This design plays with the inside textures of the bowl instead of the outer surface. Real "reversed volumes" indeed...
It is an interesting experiment about our relationship with food and nature in general- natural colors, interesting organic shapes that make a link between the raw cooking material and food recipients’...-perfect ingredients that make us think more about the food design and imagine…
