'A TAULA!' EINA x Disfrutar

During the 2022-2023 academic year, the third-year students of the Bachelor of Design in Projects 5, product itinerary, have collaborated with the Barcelona restaurant Disfrutar in a project that seeks to relate the processes linked to the culinary sphere together with their fresh and experienced look.

The Disfrutar asked the students to intervene in the conceptual solutions of the gastronomic experience in the restaurant, or to open up scenarios of interpretation in terms of the different types of presentation of the gastronomic proposals that take place during meals. 

In September, the group of students visited the restaurant, where they were able to observe the space and get to know the culinary and design laboratory from where they promote their activity. They were given a presentation of the concepts they work on in Disfrutar: organisation, work approach, conceptualisation and needs. 

During the following months, the students worked on different prototypes of dishes according to the needs proposed by the restaurant team. After a follow-up evaluation by the restaurant staff, the students presented their projects in January. From the 30 prototypes presented, the Disfrutar team selected 3 to produce: those of María Serrallonga, Eduard Martínez and Sergi Serrano.

'A TAULA!'

As a result of this collaboration between EINA and Disfrutar, the students will present a set of pieces in an exhibition at EINA Bosc organised as part of the Projects 6 subject and open to everyone, which will be inaugurated on 7 March at 17:00h with the participation of Oriol Castro, chef at Disfrutar and Irma Arribas, director of EINA, and which can be visited until 16 April.

The table, as a space for meeting and reflection, becomes an exhibition space, making each of the pieces unique and with their own personality; but at the same time they dialogue with each other. The different elements on display have been designed with the intention of accompanying the culinary composition of Disfrutar, creating an experience that transports us to luxury and exclusivity. Through a long table dressed in white, as a neutral canvas that transports us to the Mediterranean, tranquillity and serenity... woman value and importance to that which is small, exclusive and precious such as the elements of the tableware.
