Theyre movable colorful and remarkable creations of london design duo raw edges. And shy also they receive the award for their playful approach to materials and functions. We try to inspire people by ideas and then you only think about the mocking and going to be inspiring its going to be beautiful d going to be a nice kind of mission with a client and then oh wait you get an award. I think. Exciting isnt it. Both originally from israel they met while studying. There a couple professionally and in private they founded right edges in 2009 there products are a folding chair and a folding lamp for leave a ton decor for vittra and the stock drawer system for stablished and sons. I have a very strong interest in 3 dimensional unfolding. She has a very particular interest in Movement Books and very strong interest in colors so its very its very. But its. An idea and. Individual approach involves sketching out patterns much like to do for clothes a couple trying to design furniture that attach to the body shape. For the kathleen label is an example. But unique about it is that it consists of an open ear skin filled with expanding foam in the past we didnt. Want a one size so we just. Draw on a large scale of. It and then we had like humans and then we took the phone and then this hollow paper that cannot hold the weight of a person after it busy was. The word of a person and. The design of the county chair for a telly and label moreau so is also based on a simple idea it looks a bit like a toothpaste tube cut in half. Colors of materials plate equally important roles for raw edges. The designers experiment with various techniques such as boiling wood. That gets die all through the grain and makes the color more durable and longer lasting. Shy oakley likes to work with wood of different colors thats cut across instead of with the grain as usual. Geometric patterns are formed as here and the finger stately home chatsworth 2015.

There are very few go may shift to specialize completely in meatless dishes here in europe there are currently only 5 vegetarian restaurants that have been awarded in michelin star the 1st shift to cook at this level using only vegeta is paul event she runs the team in vienna and he is able to create and you neys in dish just from something as simple as a bunch of carrots and as we are about to see he uses the green bits to. This chef knows how to make vegetables the prime ingredient of gourmet cuisine. Hello my name is paul and today ill show you how to prepare a wonderful vegetarian cuisine sustainably. This dish isnt a marsh to the humble carrot. Different this from the us all of the carers this is wonderful and thats one of the main principles of my cuisine we include the green bits and medicines and i can make a salad out of that or as ive done here we can dry and mix and powder them and i was to cope and so i slice the carrots themselves and braise the mental side extract the water so theyre countries in this. Group then we marinate the carrot slices in a little polish vinegar and give us one knot in you to islam then we cook up the carrots shavings a little and dried them because of his loss. And then we parade them and i said fine and make a deal with flour and eggs and the carrot stock i mean i want them to fall and this final result with the carrot shavings is a grid in the shape of a honey card he. So what looks like honeycomb is actually made of character. In Northern Europe vegetarian cuisine can be a challenge especially in winter when mostly tubers or types of cabbages are the only fresh ones available but vegetables dont necessarily have to be flown in during winter the city farm has experimented with the rides of lettuce and cabbage the can survive even freezing temperatures and be as yes without the asian lettuce is a really the hardiest against frost they can thrive in the winter and survive temperatures as low as minus 15 degrees celsius even on open ground and another one that can stand frost is why. Personally i. Think it can withstand of least as much cold as the asian lettuces. Mean this is going also if you. Pull it it likes to draw inspiration from the city farm is especially keen on flower sprouts a cross between brussels sprouts and kale. One of my favorite vegetables. Were going to try to use the stems and the trunk. The trunks very better. We tried to freeze it with the rest to loosen up the cell structure a little bit. And the pit inside has a very exciting taste but were still experimenting. That at the restaurant if which starts preparing the fresh flower sprouts he braces some likely and deep tries others if its saying to us and i think its very interesting to play with the textures of vegetables and such cream by 2 different cooking process that bring out different flavors and so we have a whole new wealth of nuances and more guns on the full 2nd life and thats whats so important to me personally when vegetable cuisine a certain size every piece. Of barley mashed compliments the nutty flavor of the flower sprouts its garnished with flowering cabbage leaves and a burger mart sauce. The concept at the restaurant is dispense with meat save energy while cooking use locally grown produce and avoid waste. And. This kind of sustainability can be tried at home too. In the shop. In fact self we very often have a bad conscience been sick of this work for if we should free ourselves about the little ones and from the pressure and remember the school that this is by thing you think about it its far better for every one of us to save 25 percent of them for one individual to save 100 percent on the port side. But it would be a shame if people only went to the town restaurant to ease their conscience above all its a place for gourmets who are keen to experiment. Ever since martin 85. 00 the e. U.
