IDS Talks - IDS19 Marie Vogelzang
This talk was presented by Caesarstone Canada.
Food designers design food, but Marije Vogelzang designs the act of eating, taking inspiration from food’s origins, its preparation, and the etiquette, history and culture of eating.
Vogelzang began her career as an “eating designer” with two experimental restaurants, in Rotterdam and Amsterdam, conceived as design studios with restaurants inside; every detail, from the cutlery to the teabags, is custom made.
Broadening her role from restaurateur to what Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant describes as the “grand dame” of eating design, Vogelzang now takes on all types of food-related projects—new eateries, product design, initiatives for hospitals, exhibition design and curation, and even social projects and education. She also heads a new food design department at the Design Academy Eindhoven, called FOOD NON FOOD.
