MEDIA RELEASE                                         MARCH 18, 2019.

In a rare visual feast of luscious images and deliciously descriptive text
Li Edelkoort, one of the world’s most revered trend forecasters, has
highlighted the inspirational link between food and kitchen materials.

Edelkoort states that food and materials inspire each other, with food
graduating as a new design discipline to be reckoned with. In this large
format book, Form Follows Food a material forecast, Edelkoort explores
three breaking trend directions in colour and finishes, expertly
illustrating the link between some of our favourite foods and the colours
and materials that will be adorning our kitchens.

Form Follows Food also shines a light on three contemporary designers
whose work is connected to food, in both an inspirational and visually
enticing way.

The book’s striking images, in which heirloom vegetables and rustic
foods sit within a miniature landscape of Caesarstone quartz surfaces
and artisanal handmade vessels and platters, are a sublime mix of
inspired textures and emotive colour palettes. The natural beauty and
organic patinas of the Caesarstone finishes highlight the undeniable link
between the beauty and fragility of nature’s food and the strength and
sophistication of its building materials.

Edelkoort cites the kitchen as the best place in the house – a place
where the link between the latest finishes and materials and the most
delicious foods and raw ingredients can be seen on a daily basis.

Through Edelkoort’s eyes food is seen as a reflection of its
surroundings – pastes reference concrete while marble veining
emulates cheeses, meringues and even fruits.

The images bring some of the newest trends in kitchen design into
sharp focus – for example the image representing the dramatic move
from antiseptic white to black quartz in the kitchen. A rustic black
Linzer torte, filled with vegetable carbon paste and a marmalade of
black Krim tomato and bramble, is set against the darkly dramatic,
richly veined Vanilla Noir quartz surface from Caesarstone.

In another image, the sublime elegance of beetroot carpaccio is placed
on a pedestal of delicate veining and organic patina courtesy of
Caesarstone’s Statuario Maximus.

Edelkoort’s informative and beautifully descriptive text reveals a
smorgasbord of beauty in the form of inspirational finishes, artisanal
foods and evocative crafts.

And in further good news, Form Follows Food a material forecast is
available to all via download.
