— Food Design

Since its inception, COLLECTIBLE has sought to highlight the overlooked work of food designers by giving them a strong position within the fair. Rather than having classic seated dinners, the COLLECTIBLE VIP Dinner takes the form of an immersive experience spread over the 6 floors of the Vanderborght, where guests can enjoy a different food design experience on each floor. In 2020 COLLECTIBLE created a dedicated area entitled the ‘Micro Food Design Section’, which aimed to share insights on this new and undervalued discipline.

In 2019 COLLECTIBLE introduced its Food Design project with a range of experiences offered to exclusive guests on the occasion of the COLLECTIBLE VIP Dinner. Culinary Chef Isabelle Arpin and Designer Charles Kaisin (Belgium) came together for a collaboration entitled 'La Vie En Rose', for which they created a gastronomic experience set inside a monochrome pink installation. Dedicating their concept to the  physical visualisation of cravings, Diptych (The Netherlands) immersed our audience in a fine dining setting focussed on unique designs and flavours. The dishes were created on the spot by artist Ola Lanko and introduced a different perspective on contemporary collectible design. COLLECTIBLE also welcomed The Eatelier (The Netherlands), a food design studio who explore how to translate scientific research, socio-cultural trends and technological innovations into the world of food, in addition to Sonia Verguet (France) who brought a new project entitled ‘Let’s play !’, a game which established a dialogue between waiters and guests.
