Dinner’s ready

by YLARIA PAVONE

A unique piece for a dreamy mise en place, rich and majestic in the centre of the table. Dinner is served, the challenge is to consume it. Dinner’s ready is a unique object that stands at the centre of the table, born from the idea of taking the concept of sharing and the collective consumption of food to the extreme, so extreme that it becomes impossible. It is a project that contrasts drastically with the seriousness of the design, which in a completely clear-cut way, wants to be judged for its uselessness. Completely made of glass and composed of twelve symmetrical arms around a central fulcrum, Dinner’s ready is designed to have the necessary products for a dinner with six guests: six food cups, six goblets and a pitcher. Dinner’s ready is an extremely flexible product, despite its high-impact aesthetics, its symmetry means that it can have different versions with respect to how many guests are at the table, and the aesthetics of sharing and unity can make the product live in different environments than the reason for which it was created.

Ylaria Pavone is a Milan based designer passionate about the language of art.
Her work is inspired by the usual gestures of the everyday. 
The "everyday" is a dimension that belongs to everyone and with small modifications, it has the aptitude to change.
Ylaria designs cathartically with passion while remaining attentive to details, the stories of objects and the naturalness it expresses through materials and shapes.
It is important for Ylaria to express herself in each project and tell the story that moves her thoughts.
