The studio utilizes the uncharted territories of the power of food design to create and enhance multi-sensory experiences. The studio is renowned for creating multifaceted experiential worlds of concept using product design, graphic design, space and installation design, and of course culinary arts. 

Among the studio's various products you can find design objects, edible products, eating installations, multi sensory brand experiences, dining concepts, restaurant art direction, lectures, workshops and much more.  Studio is lead by Designer and Chef Ido Garini, who has an extensive background in the international design world, as well as in kitchens around the globe.

"Appetizing" is term invented by the studio in order to describe the verb of creating something appetizing.  In Studio Appétit Appetizing Lab they investigate eating, culture, habits, cravings and emotions that are triggered by food. Studio Appétit observes the never ending rolls of food in our lives and experiment with the most basic questions such as why do we eat the way we eat? or why do we we eat what we eat?  The lab is a playground for eating experiences where they explore different themes, concepts, interactions and even recipes. Some of these become projects on their own, and the rest serves as a basis for  Studio Appétit concepts and projects development.

Hans Silvester Natural Fashion

Image
This magnificently produced book provides a priceless record of a unique and increasingly fragile way of life, one threatened by conflict, climate change and tourism. The lower valley of the Omo, at the borders of Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan, remains one of the wildest places in Africa. Over the course of numerous voyages to this forgotten land, Hans Silvester became fascinated by the beauty of the Surma and Mursi tribes, who share a taste for body painting and extravagant decorations borrowed from nature. In this region of East Africa, the rivers that run through the dry savannahs are home to abundant flowers, papyrus and wild fruit trees, and this luxuriance becomes an invitation to creativity and spectacle. Within hand’s reach, a multitude of plants inspire fanciful and ephemeral self-decoration, and the Omo tribes react spontaneously: a leaf, root, seed pod or flower is quickly transformed into an accessory. People create caps from tufts of grass or they ornament t

Aldo Rossi Architecture

Image
Aldo Rossi (born 1931), one of the most influential architects during the period 1972-1988, has accomplished the unusual feat of achieving international recognition in three distinct areas: theory, drawing, and architecture. In 1966 Aldo Rossi published the book The Architecture of the City, which subsequently was translated into several languages and enjoyed enormous international success. Spurning the then fashionable debates on style, Aldo Rossi instead criticized the lack of understanding of the city in current architectural practice. Aldo Rossi argued that a city must be studied and valued as something constructed over time; of particular interest are urban artifacts that with-stand the passage of time. Despite the modern movement polemics against monuments, for example. Aldo Rossi held that the city remembers its past and uses that memory through monuments; that is, monuments give structure to the city.

Moore is the most influential and famous sculptures of his generation. "I really make the little idea from clay and i hold it in my hand. I can turn it, look at it from underneath, see it from one view, hold it against the sky, imagine it any size I like, and really be in control, almost like God creating something." - Henry Moore

Ṗhotographer Helmut Newton

Image
Helmut Newton, a feckless, un-scholarly boy grew up to transform fashion photography.  Probably the most imitated and controversial fashion photographer of his time, Newton earned the nickname King of Kink as well as a fortune. “If a photographer says he is not a voyeur, he is an idiot,”  Newton once said.  His erotic and dream like images were like a peep through a key hole, spied moments of a heightened reality. As a person, Newton was unsurprisingly complex. A bohemian and yet very pragmatic, he insisted that he was not an intellectual and did not stand for much. His sardonic humor, delight in mischief, and nonchalant sense of irony are obvious in his work. He considered America weird, exotic, and outrageous.  Though a slave to his own imagination, Newton claimed that his photographs were entirely based in reality.  He  was inspired by Film Noir, Expressionist Cinema, S & M and Surrealism. His many obsessions were rooted in his childhood, in the decadent, avant-garde capita

Marc Quinn Archaeology of Art

Image
The Archaeology of Art sculptures are based on the forms of real shells - the most perfect pre-existing sculptural 'readymades' in our natural world. The found forms are enlarged using a 3D printer and cast in aluminium, concrete, stainless steel or bronze. Marc Quinn polishes the inside of the shells to a high sheen, contrasting with their heavily textured surfaces. Like the rings on a tree, these surfaces tell of the age and history of the object, like some kind of found structural diagram, whereas the sculpture’s highly polished, reflective insides remain in the present moment, continually reflecting the present. The Broken Sublime sculptures are modelled from shells which have been broken into by humans in order to eat the flesh inside, and highlight how our relationship to nature is shaped by needs of the moment.   Marc Quinn (British, born 1964) is a leading contemporary artist. He first came to prominence in the early 1990s, when he and several peers redefined wh

Architect Marcel Breuer

Image
Designer and Architect, Marcel Breuer (1902 - 1981) can be regarded as one of the most influential and important designers of the 20th century. As a young student at the Bauhaus Weimar, Breuer, who was Hungarian by birth, caught the eye with various furniture designs inspired by the Dutch De Stijl group. In 1925, at the tender age of only 23, he “invented” tubular steel furniture, a revolutionary development, to be considered his core contribution to the history of design. Breuer’s tubular steel designs, such as the famous Wassily armchair, the Bauhaus stool, or his various cantilever chairs are representative for the design of an entire epoch, and thus comparable only with Wagenfeld’s legendary table luminaire. In the shape of millions of copies they have long since taken a firm place among the great classics of Modernism. Yet it was not only tubular steel furniture that helped Breuer make an international splash. He was likewise a design history trail-blazer with his alu

Vetements Anti-Fashion

In 2014, two brothers launched Vetements. Known for being the business mastermind behind one of today's most talked about brands, Vetements, Guram Gvasalia is the chief executive of the Paris-based label alongside his older brother Demna Gvasalia, who leads the brand's creative team. Demna Gvasalia is a powerful emerging force in today's creative world, Demna Gvasalia embodies a unique approach to the profession, marked by a sociological observation of the wardrobe's essentials.  Vetements design philosophy plays to the strengths of anti-fashion clothes, an attitude of cool, individuals who have their own style, younger generations who are much more pragmatic.  Rule breaking is not just a phase thrown around in today's politics, but it is also thrown around in fashion. No brand has divided opinions like Vetements. The Parisian collective has drawn countless detractors, skeptics, and naysayers. Exaggerated silhouettes and  streetwear-inspired clothing com

Le Corbusier Sculptures

Image
Fantastic sculptures from the one and only Charles-Edouard Jeannette, better known as Architect Le Corbusier.  Lightly more creative then his earlier projects, one can see parallels between him and Salvador Dali’s paintings in  Le Corbusier sculptures, even though it’s no secret that they weren’t the biggest fans of each other. Regularly analyzing whether he liked purely functional and industrial products or if he liked one-of-a-kind handmade items, Le Corbusier reached a middle ground - a home that’s purely functional with industrial products to match its character.  For Le Corbusier, sculptures put his thoughts into perspective and inspired him to see the art side of things.  Le Corbusier found the balance between two elements and succeeded.  Le Corbusier abandoned the idea of Purism in the 1950′s and began making more robust work, even his architecture turned from being lightweight into more of a heavier feel with splashes of bright colors.  He left concrete unfinished, wooden
