Going to Table: Food and Design

From its preparation to its enjoyment, the meal has always been a province of design. This program gathers six of today’s leading designers for an exposition of objects used in the kitchen and dining room. Interviews with designers artfully blend with examples of their work, including spoons, cutlery, glasses, vases, and a Champagne stand by Ettore Sottsass; kettles, cooking pots, and espresso machines by Richard Sapper; dining tables and chairs by Philippe Starck; serving trays and bowls by Enzo Mari; cutlery and glasses by Achille Castiglione; and kettles, teapots, and trays by Alberto Alessi. Not available in French-speaking Canada. (51 minutes)
