Food Plating: A Design Story

Food Plating: A Design Story

A photographic essay of food, plated as notable architectural styles from Brutalist to Bauhaus.

This essay was born from a mutual appreciation for the art of food plating: the composition, color, texture, and emotional response evoked by the aesthetic. In this spirit, we began to question the realm of possibility around design-inspired food plating. How can the allowance of color, texture, and form evoke the spirit of architecture and design? This is visually explored throughout the average day of a right-brained individual with each time of day and meal taking shape (quite literally) in accordance to a specific architectural style.
