Eight designers and eight chefs collaborated as a pair to attain unique products that can be used in restaurants. The designers were inspired by the chefs and vice versa.
Point of departure for the project was the added value that creative industries can bring to other sectors of industry - in this case, to top-class restaurants. Design solutions were explored for situations that both the staff and the restaurants have to cope with in their daily work.
Annelies Hermsen developed a line of packaging for Ristorante Da Nello for their basic line of Italian delicatessen products, such as truffle butter and olive oil, which was inspired by the ingredients themselves: tomatoes, eggplants and olives. The line of packaging is well-suited to the restaurant's style: authentic, sensible and sober.
