Design Tableware by Ryan L Foote Design Studio
The Art of Dining
Melbourne-based designer, artist and chef Ryan L Foote is fascinated by the experience of dining. He understands that fine dining is a multi-sensory experience encompassing smell, taste, touch and social interaction, not just about food. This is reflected in his collections of beautifully hand-crafted tableware, which varies from studies in glazes and colours in the Crystalline and Bubbles ranges to a contemporary take on Japanese bento boxes with the Bento range and the stunningly sculptural creations of the Diamond Lab range. Designed to titillate and delight, these ceramic masterpieces are sure to elevate humble meals into culinary extravaganzas.

Furniture from Recycled Materials
Furniture designers have long been fascinated by the potential of using discarded materials, a trend accelerated by the recent clamour for all things recycled, upcycled and repurposed. Here is a small selection of designs which have caught our eye.
Terrazzo Things from Lick My Brick
There was a time when the use of marble was largely restricted to floors, posh kitchen counters and grave statutes. And then, at some point around the mid-noughties, marble was everywhere. Could the same be happening to terrazzo?
Geometric Inspirations by John Eric Byers
American artist-designer John Eric Byers cites, amongst others, Donald Judd and Richard Serra as sources of his inspiration. The influence of these American masters of minimalism are clear to see from the furniture he has created.
