Rooted in a personal fascination with the dinner table as a space of connection, this project began with tracing the foundations of dining. The research explores how cultural rituals, habits, and design can facilitate moments of genuine togetherness during a dinner party.

Raised in a household where routinely shared meals and dinner parties reflected care and identity, a lifelong relationship with hosting and dinnerware is drawn on. Stacked, porcelain plates once kept out of reach became symbols of intimacy, tradition, and space for new memories.

Through interviews, material experimentation, and personal reflection, the project reimagines formal dining with forms, tactile surfaces, and quiet detail. Each piece invites interaction, encouraging reflection on interactions around the table.

Rather than viewing the dinner party as a fixed dining event, the work frames it as an evolving setting — reimagined with each occasion to allow for deeper connections to unfold during dinner. These handmade objects are meant to be touched, used, and shared. A language of connection, served through porcelain.
