© 2009 Ralston & Bau. Figgjo Exhibition in Måltidets Hus in Stavanger.

.
Måltidets Hus is the new 9000 m2 national and international resource centre for food development, host of the Gastronomic Institute and Norwegian chef team. Ralston & Bau was commissioned by Figgjo to make an permanent installation in the reception hall. A central wall that runs three flights high was transformed into a generous, vertical feast table. Combined iconic Figgjo dishes form organic shaped plates and bowls of the table, the wall was covered with a innovative laminated wood material simulating a linen table cloth. The wood was engraved with the shapes of ghost silver ware and glasses, while a classic chair backrest on the wall top completes the illusion of the vertical table. The installation was opened to the public on the 16th of September. If you are in Stavanger, just pass by to take your bite of the vertical meal.
The installation is published amongst others on David Report, NotCot and Designspotter.

Anders Thingbø, CEO Figgjo thinks: This project has had found it’s own path since it s truly innovative! The reception of the finished result was allround positive…and the final design a surprise to many.
Constance Gaard Kristiansen, product manager Figgjo: I like the vertical table more and more!
