Taste Festival Berlin

01. 06. 12 - 10. 06. 12

10 days of Food and Creativity

Food is a central topic for cutting edge design today. At the same time chef's and producers are experimenting with various aesthetic and conceptual approaches that are relevant in contemporary food. They are not only innovating culinary techniques but are also reflecting on our daily food philosophy.

The Taste Festival is a 10-days-Festival in Berlin introducing outstanding designers, artists, food curators, chefs and producers. Aimed at all food enthusiasts as well as industry professionals, the Festival is an unprecedented opportunity to learn more about taste, the sourcing of ingredients, the experimentation behind the dishes and the cultural significance of dining.

The first edition of Taste Festival that took place from June 1st to June 10th in Berlin featured an exclusive exhibition and shows works from 50 internationally recognised designers and artists in addition to hosting food events, mini-markets, presentations and parties. Taste displayed not only the quality and fantasy of the latest New Food Culture but also showed how the visual effects of graphic design, illustration, performance and architecture spill into and influence the field of food and design.

Program

A festival day started with workshops for creative experimentation sessions and lectures. During the day, everybody was invited to enjoy the exhibition as well as the presentation of rare products and futuristic street food dishes also outside the house. Serving as open, communicative platform with a fare-like structure, this happening was accessible for everyone.
