Milan Salone 2016 Preview: Elemental dining

The Fire kitchen uses Caesarstone’s black and dark grey quartz, and features blackened beams and hints of gold, providing a rich sensorial backdrop to Arabeschi di Latte’s menu of charred layered dough, spices and savoury cheese.

A spectrum of grey and white quartz evokes an icy tundra in another room where diners will be treated to a variation on a traditionalstracciatella, made with frozen ingredients that will slowly thaw in a hot broth.

‘We want to inspire architects and designers through a radical interpretation of how food and surfaces can interact in different ways, delivering a food experience that challenges all the senses in an exercise of materiality, luminosity and texture,’ says Dixon.
