]]>It will have to be the French beans and mangetouts with hazelnut and orange. This is an Ottolenghi classic, published in the first Ottolenghi cookbook in 2008 and often appearing on our menus, mostly during the autumn holidays. It looks as wonderful on a large platter as it does in a small bowl, alongside other vegetables. There is something very honest about the dish, as there is in Ivo’s plates.
Working with Ivo, we always knew the collection will have to be a riot of colours, echoing the food we serve, which is always multi-layered and full of contrasts. There isn’t one kind of Ottolenghi recipe or dish, just like there isn’t one kind of plate in Ivo’s collection. Yet there is definitely a thread of intensity and exuberance. I have always been obsessed with the platters we display our foods on in our delis. Working closely with Ivo to create dishes that suit the food perfectly and make it shine is a dream come true.
I love all the large serving platters: the mere size allows them to really shine, and they are ideal for serving our salads. If I had to choose only one, it would have to be the platter in turquoise with a gold pepper print. Finding just the right shade of turquoise was a challenging task, and we probably had 5 rounds of experiments before we found the right tone, which conveys a perfect combination of happiness and calmness. The gold adds a touch of sheer, hedonistic luxury, but, by taking the abstract shape of a humble vegetable it is anything but corny.
Noam Bar, Ottolenhgi ’s co-founder, and I have been working with Ivo for a few years now. Whether it is a functional napkin, a logo for a menu or a wrapping for a Christmas gift, Ivo always comes up with original ideas, full of humour and humanity. Naturally, there are sometimes hot-blooded Mediterranean arguments (Ivo is from Sicily, after all), but somehow we do share a visceral understanding of what the brand stands for and what are the aesthetic values that underpin it. This communal understanding is something that, I know, brings us all a lot of pleasure. By creating this collection Ivo has really managed to expand the visual language of Ottolenghi and reinvent it. We are all totally grateful for that.
Seeing the dishes come to life, gradually, in a way that deeply understands food and how it is presented on a plate was great fun. The first time we actually served food on the dishes of this collection reminded what I have always known: that the way food is presented is as important as its taste; that appreciating food is a holistic experience which involves all the senses.
I have to say that it has been a beautifully collaborative and positive process where all sides understood what they have to contribute, when they need to insist and when it is wiser to step back and allow the other to shine. What was difficult was the fact that over half of the design process happened during Covid times, via Zoom: Ivo in Israel, we here in London and Serax in Belgium; there were limited opportunities to touch and feel the pieces. I was really worried – can one design a whole collection virtually? How is it even possible? But we somehow managed, and I don’t feel that the collection is in any way far from perfect.
This is what our food is all about. It’s “in place” at any time of the day and for any occasion, really. The beauty of all of it is that the dividing line between formal and informal has been completely blurred; you can see what you want to see, both when it comes to the food and the plates. So the same item can function differently, depending on the context or your state of mind. Just like the plates in the range, our harissa potatoes with garlic yoghurt, for example, can be the centre of the most casual supper as they can be a side dish in a glamorous mezze feast featuring elaborate and simple creations, side by side.

This month, we're getting to know Berlin based interior stylist and content creator, Viktoria, who highlights her beautiful and inspiring home at @tthese_beautiful_thingss. Read on for a short interview with Viktoria and her gift guide from design at The Design Part....
I would say clean, soft and elegant. I think my interior fits the Japandi style.
The best inspiration can be found on trips/vacations and in interior magazines.
My living room! In this room I love every single piece. There are beautiful vintage pieces and also design classics that I have combined with each other. We also spend a lot of time together as a family in this room. Whether comfortably on the couch or eating together at the dining table ...
Actually, I have a lot. But I especially love my vintage travertine dining table, which I bought from an elderly lady over two years ago.

Last year during Stockholm's Design Week, Norm Architects imagined and created the beautiful space below. The rooms are dotted with items by Menu, Dux, Bang & Oluffson and more.
“The almost theatrical staging of objects pays homage to the ateliers of great artists – from Picasso’s Parisian hideout to Cezanne’s untouched studio in Aix-en-Provence – and allows visitors a glimpse into the artistic process, on a larger scale,” explained founding partner of Norm Architects Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen.

]]>At that time, we were looking at solutions to build big and generous volumes out of tension, only using sticks and fabrics. We looked at kites, tents, ultra light weight sports equipment, and photography gear. Later our idea emerged from that research.
During our research we looked for recycled and recyclable materials that are solid and durable. When we started prototyping shapes with different technical textiles that we had in the studio, we realized that Tyvek was the best diffuser and that it creates the warmest effect for the light.
Our goal was to create a lamp that brings personality and a very nice quality of light to every home. According to the size of one’s room, one can choose the small option or the big size lamp. It’s easy to modulate the length of the cable for spaces with low or high ceil- ings. For very spacious rooms or hotel lobbies we suggest combining two lamps, a small and a big one, side by side. It will look amazing for sure.
For us it would be described as a piece to contemplate, which moves and lives with you in everyday life, like a moving sculpture. A lamp that is both beautiful and interesting when turned on, as well as when it’s turned off. A lamp, which can be placed in any kind of interior and that will always bring in something special to it, creating atmosphere and a presence that will make you feel good.
