Experimental Kitchen Restaurants

Artful Surfaces at 'The Restaurant' Explore Innovative Cooking

Famed British designer Tom Dixon and Caesarstone have come together to create 'The Restaurant.'

The Restaurant has four different kitchen and dining areas, each of which are used to explore cutting-edge methods for preparing and preserving various food items. Visitors to the spaces are invited to visit each of the stations and sample the various items available in order to put together a full meal. As well as challenging familiar concepts in food-making, the deconstructed Earth, Water, Fire and Ice kitchens also serve as a way to break down the constraints of a traditional restaurant dining experience.

Rather than exhibiting products at Milan Design Week, Tom Dixon and Caesarstone's collaboration serves as a showcase of design and surface material innovations.
