FONDO SUPPER CLUB







02 / Mayrit Design Biennale


Nave La Mosca, Madrid
Una especie de distancia

June 2022, Supper Club



In order to highlight the disparity between species as generated by our anthropocentric perspective, we utilize gastronomy as a lens to understand the diverse behaviors of different species in relation to food.




The Menu

“Mayrit” is the original name of Madrid, founded by the Arabs in the 9th century, which translates to "where water flows."


We delve into ancient cookbooks to revive a recipe from Arabic royalty during the Middle Ages, intertwining the history of our city with the boundless possibilities of water. Our menu features unique dishes such as a saffron and seawater oyster, as well as a tea-based dessert infused with preserved lemons, honey, almonds, herbs, and seasonal ingredients.

  

The Installation

Inspired by 19th-century wine tasting tables, where the sommelier could interact with each participant, we sought to recreate this experience on a larger scale.


(This resulted in fascinating encounters and interactions, if we do say so ourselves.)
