Designing eating<br />
Designing eating is a cooperation between ceramic artist Karin Widnäs and chef Kari Aihinen and<br />
his kitchen staff, cooperating on the 75th anniversary crockery for the Ravintola Savoy restaurant.<br />
The design will be based on the daily changing menu compiled by master chef Kari Aihinen for the<br />
restaurant’s anniversary year. The crockery manufacturing process and the meal portions will be<br />
documented.<br />
The crockery which will be designed and manufactured on the basis of meals created by the Finnish<br />
master chef, is an example of the possibilities that small-scale Finnish production can achieve within<br />
the catering trade. The crockery comprises unique numbered plates, to be introduced on 9 January<br />
<strong>2012</strong>. The crockery will also be displayed in the glass case in the entrance hall of the Ravintola<br />
Savoy.<br />
The unique restaurant environment of Ravintola Savoy, which was designed by Alvar Aalto, demonstrates<br />
his appreciation for arts and crafts. The anniversary crockery and menu will be part of<br />
the comprehensive artwork design.<br />
