After a few weeks to work on concepts, we were tasked with returning to class with at least three concept posters and accompanying models to put forward our ideas to our tutors and others in the class. As Australian cuisine involves foods from all different cultural backgrounds, the majority of the concepts I developed were centered around the foods we eat. I chose to look more towards the casual outdoor meals and ended up looking for ways to bring the fun and playful experience of take away fish and chips to the home.
Concept 1 involved recreating a traditional take away plate for fish and chips and taking it from a disposable one time use form to being something with a longer lifecycle and more class. The result is a press molded porcelain plate which recreates the fold lines of the original in order to keep the traditional roots.
Similarly to concept 1, concept 2 was also focused on recreating the playfulness of eating fish and chips outdoors but within the home. This concept however, did so through appearing to be a bowl made of newspaper although actually being constructed of press molded porcelain.
And just to be completely different, concept 3 was designed with the way Australians eat outdoors for casual meals, or more formal family meals. This concept involved a rearrangeable furniture setup which could adapt to a few different dining styles. In order to keep with the traditional look of Australian outdoor furniture, this concept was to be constructed through the repetition of a single shape which would be made out of Teak.
