Castle Dish Set

Prompt: Design three pieces of dinner wear to match the theme and culture of a restaurant.

A restaurant’s atmosphere is created from distinguished elements in the environment and theme providing each visitor with a unique dining experience beginning to end. Dishware is an intricate part of the architecture of the meal; how it is delivered, how it is displayed, and ultimately how the meal is consumed by the guest. Special care and consideration should be in play when designing each piece of a dishware set, to include cohesiveness, coordination, and theme to fulfill the table side piece of the presentation.

Unique Design Opportunities

Wheeled Carts

All of the food is rolled out on wheeled carts which allows for the dishes to be a bit heavier than typical.

Exaggeration

I can take advantage of exaggerated design and it would still fit in.

Dark and Eerie

We are able to use darker and eerier elements.

1800’s Castle

The restaurant is set in a 1800’s style castle that is filled with high class architecture. This means that the dishware can be fancy over-the-top as well.

Final Design

The Castle Dish Set was designed with multiple small, thoughtful pieces of the bigger story. The use of the raised filigrees on the surface is to pronounce the elegance of traditional Rococo design. The deep purple hues and scattered vines are to depict the dark, overgrown feel. The cast iron latticework represents the boldness and power of the story and character development. The use of stark white represents the pristineness of the French cuisine restaurant service and table settings.
