# Country-Coded Croissants Oliver Schwarzwald Takes Us on a Culinary Crusade By Brian G Randles | Published 2010-03-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oliver-schwarzwald References: [flavorwire](http://flavorwire.com/74477/guessing-game-match-the-breakfast-with-the-country) & [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/28765/) German photographer Oliver Schwarzwald has taken it upon himself to create some [food-inspired art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looks-delicious) that corresponds with [typical breakfasts around the world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/early-birds-diner). The first picture is of course France, but can you figure out the remaining dishes? I love the concept here, although I don't think I would have had the willpower to finish the project. I mean, some of these pieces by Oliver Schwarzwald look pretty damn good. I wonder if he [photographs food for restaurant menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/common-breads)? I would if I were him. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 11% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## 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 - **Food-inspired Art:** Opportunity to innovate by creating food-inspired art that resonates with different cultures and their typical breakfasts. - **Culinary Photography:** Potential for disruptive innovation in food photography for restaurant menus by capturing visually appealing and enticing images. - **Cultural Representation:** Opportunity to explore and showcase the diverse cultural aspects of breakfast through photography and art. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** Integration of food-inspired art into the art and design industry, offering unique and culturally diverse artwork options. - **Food and Beverage:** Utilizing visually appealing and cultural photographs for restaurant menus to attract and engage customers with their breakfast offerings. - **Photography and Advertising:** Innovative approach to food photography for advertising agencies, providing visually striking images for campaigns and menus. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Viral Croissant Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-cubes.md) - [Savory Onigiri Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onigiri-croissant.md) - [Hot Dog Danishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/papa-damour.md) - [Gym-Themed Croissant Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nudake-haus-nowhere-shanghai.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Flaky Croissant Breads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-bread.md) - [Hollow Chocolate Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-croissant-easter-egg.md) - [Soft Serve Croissants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evana-patisserie-cafe.md) - [Gourmet Festive Creations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-festive-creations.md)
