Podsumowanie
In many cultures, it is traditional for people to eat together and enjoy convivial conversation doing so. This is an aspect of food culture that designer duo Studio Rygalik intends to redefine artistically and revive experimentally in the Museum of Decorative Art in Schloss Pillnitz.

Like every year, the museum will present a design position from either Poland or Czech Republic from late summer onwards. This time museum director Tulga Beyerle has decided to bring on board Gosia and Tomek Rygalik, a designer duo from Poland. The exhibition Creative Collisions: Studio Rygalik and Young Creatives, to be held from 3rd September to 1st November 2016, will involve a total of ten people from Dresden working together with Studio Rygalik: young designers, architects and general creative people – all resident in Dresden, but including five arrivals to the city as refugees. The project objectives extend beyond a conventional exhibition of design objects. Envisaged as a 'work in progress' show, the collective work will be based on the ideas, experiences and stories that participants wish to tell with their pieces.
The two workshops are devoted to the different cultures of sitting down at a meal together. A table designed by Studio Rygalik will serve as the starting point. It represents a 'creative collision' of diverse dining table shapes (from polygonal to round) from different countries, joined in collage fashion to make a large table. During the first workshop, the participants will set up the table together with the designers, jointly create further seating furniture and finally arrange a festive meal together. All the objects made in this first workshop will be on display in the exhibition. In the second part, taking place after the opening, the aspect of food design will be examined in greater detail. The idea behind this approach in Gosia Rygalik’s work is that 'eating' can be designed in its cultural practice as a consciously creative act.
The design exhibition will not only show the design process itself but also the objects designed and realised by all those involved. The museum thereby provides a platform for collaboration between a renowned designer duo and young creatives of the city of Dresden.
