“Pepi
de Boissieu runs a creative studio in which food is the central axis. She uses
design and art to create made-to-measure food installations and eating
experiences.
Food is a powerful communication tool and at the
same time a medium for generating experiences. Content primordial and the
regard of in-depth cultural research is crucial for each project. This studio
is passionate about the appreciation of food's quality, origin, esthetics,
history and its crafts.
Food-centred actions can help people relate to
each other, question their reality, and also simply get in good spirits,
marveling at the unexpected, while eating or drinking. Something that is
finally a part of our daily lives.”

“For the dinner party hosted at arquitect Ricardo Bofill Pepi and Marc Morro (AOO BARCELONA) collaborated on a series of surrealistic games: a three side ping pong table, a mini golf snooker and a giant peg solitare
The food installations where also related to the idea of playing, we had a XL mikado made out of big colourful grisini with different hummus to dip, there was a beautiful chain reactor designed by Lolo & Sosaku that when activated by each guest with a wooden ball it cracked a black rice cracker with which you could season a bowl of steak tartare and a paper flavor fortune teller that by playing would drive you to taste any of the 4 hidden flavors we had: Umami, spicy, sweet and acid.”
