Avant Garde
Stand
Maarten Baptist and restaurant Avant Garde in Eindhoven were a temporary couple. Just as Kiki van Eijk and restaurant De Karpendonkse Hoeve or Dick van Hoff and restaurant Osteria. During the Dutch Design Week 2007, from 20th to 28th October, they and five other pairs of chefs and designers presented the results of their brief collaboration during the exclusive Dutch Design Dinner in pop up restaurant Eat Drink Design.

Eat Drink Design, an initiative by design studio Moon/en/co and the culinary phenomenon Sot-l’y-laisse, coupled eight designers to eight top-class restaurants in and around Eindhoven. Point of departure for the project is the added value the creative industries can bring to other sectors of industry - in this case, to the catering industry. Design solutions were explored for situations that both the staff and the restaurants have to cope with in their daily work.
Patron Cuisinier Johan van Groeninge loves to be inspired by beautiful or unusual services. This is why Maarten Baptist designed a silver clamp especially for restaurant Avant Garde with a holder fashioned out of laboratory glass and which literarily adds taste to the food: one drop of an extra ingredient, to go with every bite of food.
