A tavola! is a project inspired by eating habits and traditions coming from an Italian family. Rituals and family recipes were translated into stories, which later inspired the design of a tableware collection with emotional connotations. Every piece has it's own particular way to reveal a hidden message, and when put together, all the pieces tell a story that comes to life through food itself.
Ceramic plate with gold handwriting and carved message. Carved message in the bottom of the plate works as a stamp on bread and completes the message written in gold. / Ceramic spoon with lace applied designs and gold handwriting. Dripping holes allow sauce to drip onto the table cloth. /
Ceramic dessert spoons with gold handwriting (pie spoon: diagonal cut covered in chocolate - panna cotta spoon: dripping holes covered in caramel - dessert spoon: covered in white chocolate). /
Laser cut lace edible napkin. The napkin becomes a part of the dessert. /
Handmade silkscreen printing on egyptian cotton with heat activated base and white puff base.

When drops of sauce fall on the white puff base, hidden messages become visible. /
