Foodcurators

conceptdesigners for food Foodcurators is een voedselvormgevingsbureau dat een nieuw beroep voor zichzelf heeft geïntroduceerd: dat van voedselcurator.

Het werk van Foodcurators kan worden gezien als een doorlopend proces waarbij dit nieuwe beroep gaandeweg meer vorm krijgt. Foodcurators is een groep professionals in een eigen discipline: een hybride van kok en vormgever. De combinatie van deze disciplines is toonaangevend voor ons bureau en zorgt voor een unieke houding ten opzichte van voedsel. Waar voedsel en ontwerpvraagstukken samen komen, daar werken wij. Foodcurators wordt geleid door Digna Kosse en Lucas Mullié.

𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥
The whole world is on our plate, yet our food is becoming increasingly less diverse. Everywhere in the world the same species of cattle and same species of crops are bred. We are rapidly losing a wealth of local heritage, local flavors and local crafts. A universal food system might seem highly efficient but it is indeed very fragile.

Fresh is a magic word in the supermarket. The ‘fresh’ warm apple pie that just came out of the oven was still frozen an hour ago. The tomatoes were picked weeks in the past. Fresh fish turns out to be thawed.
The orange juicer reassuringly squeezes juice right in front of us; this is truly fresh. Once the juice has been squeezed the oranges fall into a closed container, away from sight. In a few seconds a fresh orange is degraded to waste; trash.
ZUM-EX reconstructs squeezed oranges into new ‘fresh’ specimens.

Stamtafel De Wolden for . A place for get-togethers situated around the theme of community spirit. The settings consists of a table hand-carved with anecdotes and statements, a tablecloth embroidered with headlines and news items about community spirit (locally referred to as ‘naoberschap’), special toasting classes with etchings of the rural environment and a hyperlink to an online meeting, and a drink with flavortones as sensorial translations of rural vs urban inequality in politics.
You can read all about this project on our website. The project is still om display until the end of this month.

(𝐮𝐧)𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐥
When prosperity increases, meat consumption also increases; even surpassing what is healthy. Plus, the richer we get the more fast food we eat. It is the paradox of our increasing wealth: we eat (too) much but suffer from hidden hunger as we do not get all needed nutrients. The food production system is fully pumped up: inflated large volumes without real substance or taste.
(un)Happy Meal serves two vegetables which typically often contain a lot of water and little taste. In this dish they become very tasty, although they no longer look so radiant. What do we find more important: the picture or the true content of our food?

Our Story

Foodcurators operate on the intersection of food and design. We are concept developers with a focus on food. From this focal point, we formalize concepts with a vision on the future of food: How can we bring the food industry closer to the consumer? How can we fit cooking in our busy lives? How do we deal with invasive plant species that impoverish our vegetation? We design concepts and sketch predictive scenarios to help us look differently at food and its surroundings.

The connection between time and food plays a considerable role in our work. This can be translated to quality, preparation time, mortality, locality, assemblies and much more. Our agency is driven by a fascination for industry and crafts. Time, in any form whatsoever, no longer plays a role in the food industry; yet crafts are inextricably linked to time. This interest is the foundation and inspiration for the work we do.

Foodcurators are professionals in their own discipline: a hybrid of a designer and a chef. This combination makes us a prominent agency and gives us a unique attitude towards food. Foodcurators was founded by Digna Kosse and Lucas Mullié in 2012 and is located in the Foodstudio in Rotterdam.
