Perception-Enhancing Sculptural Ceramics

Reiko Kaneko's Plates Explore Qualitative Properties

— November 12, 2018 — Art & Design
Reiko Kaneko harnesses his understanding of design and research-backed data to produce a collection of beautiful sculptural ceramics that are intended to intensify the perception of taste and flavor. The exclusive range includes a starter plate, a dish and dessert bowls. The qualitative features of each creation — from the choice and intensity of the color and texture to the outward extension of the shape and the weight, are informed by gastrophysics research conducted by Professor Charles Spence. The result is a line-up of incredibly unique and interesting sculptural ceramics that definitely add a strong artistic component to the way one approaches dishware.

Reiko Kaneko's sculptural ceramics gauge the magnitude of influence dishware can have on human perception, thus, "tricking the brain into experiencing a richer taste sensation." The limited edition collection is designed for Neff and debuted at the Eurocucina 2018.
Trend Themes
1. Perception-enhancing Dishware - Continued exploration of how design can improve dining experiences through sensory perception.
2. Gastrophysics-informed Ceramics - Researchers and designers collaborate to apply scientific principles to create unique and functional dishware.
3. Limited Edition Tableware Design - Exclusive and innovative tableware collections elevate dining experiences and create new market opportunities.
Industry Implications
1. Luxury Home Decor - Luxury brands can integrate science and design to make tableware an integral part of dining experiences, expanding their offerings and elevating their brand story.
2. Fine Dining Restaurants - Restaurants can invest in unique and innovative dishware to optimize the sensory experience of their culinary creations and to differentiate their brand in the industry.
3. Ceramic Design - Ceramic designers can push the boundaries of traditional dishware forms and colors by collaborating with researchers and applying scientific principles to create unique, high-end and functional pieces of art.
