# Digestion-Inspired Dinnerware Eating Objects by Ahmad Fakhry Rethink Food Preparation By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-06-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eating-objects-by-ahmad-fakhry References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/40954/) & [ideleven](http://www.ideleven.com/#1396206/Ahmad-Fakhry) Without much insight into the design of Eating Objects by Ahmad Fakhry, one can still gather some ideas that the project wishes to explore. The [ceramic tableware set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monte-porcelain) incorporates some reinterpreted items one may be accustomed to seeing within the kitchen cupboards, and some others that look curiously unidentifiable. Besides cups, a pitcher, a vase and a tray, the arrangement includes couple of [square dishes with perforated lids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thermal-serving-dish). A syringe and a baster allow for sauces to be sucked in and applied in various ways and patterns through the holes in the plate tops. The entire setup is a peculiar one, exploring the concepts of [molecular gastronomy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banquet-echoes) and the experience of eating food. Eating Objects by Ahmad Fakhry looks to be an even more powerful project when several place settings are laid out down the length of a dining room table. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Molecular Gastronomy:** Discover new ways to enhance the dining experience through the exploration of molecular gastronomy. - **Reinterpreted Tableware:** Rethink traditional kitchen items by incorporating unique designs and functionalities into tableware. - **Sauce Application Innovation:** Explore innovative methods for applying sauces to food through the use of syringes and basters with perforated lids. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can capitalize on the trend of molecular gastronomy to elevate the dining experiences at restaurants and hotels. - **Kitchenware:** The kitchenware industry has an opportunity to create reinterpreted tableware designs that enhance both functionality and aesthetics. - **Food Service:** Innovative sauce application tools like syringes and basters with perforated lids can be introduced in the food service industry to offer unique and creative food presentations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Table Manners-Teaching Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-tableware.md) - [Zero Gravity-Dining Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-microgravity.md) - [Speculative Cutlery Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evolving-spoon.md) - [Fashionable Fusion Cutlery Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rething-cutlery.md) - [Artsy Surrealist Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gohar-world.md) - [Sculptural Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-of-tangible-spaces.md) - [Interactive Mealtime Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platoo-interactive-sensory-meal-plate.md) - [Innovative Ceramic Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-tableware1.md) - [Vibrant Artisanal Tableware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sobremesa.md)
