A Masterpiece at the Table.
We’re inviting professional designers and design students to submit concepts for products that can transform the process of cooking and consuming food into delightful, surprising and enriching experiences. Given that the competition is about the magic that happens at the intersection of design and food, we’ve asked two talented chefs to create dishes that can serve as inspiration for the entries
Best of all, it is totally FREE to enter!
The winning entries will receive Gold, Silver and Bronze awards as well as visibility and media recognition. The Best of Show winner will win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Italy for two, complete with private tours of the Kartell and Alessi design museums, and a VIP visit to a Parmigiano Reggiano cheese making facility.
