Design Research and Context

Design Reseach and Context

There are many ways of design to engage people to connect with food. Due to our concept, we would like to use the different external appearance of food to create the space that people can be a part of the food. We decided to use the colourful is the main theme in every part of this project such as food, decoration and cover space. These colours can refer to a different kind of food and taste. Moreover, we used many shapes to create food sculpture that refers to the different shape of food. In term of space, we used inflatable to cover our table part because it can make people feel be part of this space and encourage them to have fun with a meal.

Case Studies

To start with inflatable design, we explored the design case study and found the interesting one. It is the floating plastic bag project, designed by artist team from Lund University’s school of technology. The concept of this installation to explore colours, geometry and lighting and transform them into a simple group of plastic bags.

For hanging sculptures, we researched about the shape and colour that can impact on human feeling. “Plegxiberg”, installation art was designed by Bahar Yürükoğlu, the Turkish artist. This artwork used geometry shape and neon shade colour to create space by tint colour acrylic sheet.

Deu to our project used various colours, so we decided to gradient these colours. We found the handmade artwork that use the idea of gradient colour. It inspired us to design the food colour gradient on the table.
