The promotion was inspired by arecent collage work series created by Malecki in honour of his first Hong Kong visit and pop-up exhibition Room Plus at PMQ this month.
“Studio Ziben creates stunning handcrafted furniture with materials of the highest quality and reuses some of the pieces into the five newest collages all displayed at Takumi by Daisuke Mori, that Art lovers are welcomed to buy and bring them home,” said Takumi by Daisuke Mori in a statement.
Chef Mori added, “It is all about the feelings when you look at the art work, truly brilliant ones – using simple materials such as wood and paper and end up creating such powerful composition of collages. Similarly, the dishes I created use seasonal ingredients, they may not stand out alone, however when you put them together, magic happens.”
The night of May 14, 2019 will be hosted by artist Mariusz Malecki with an artistic 8-course menu.
As is common, only 12-diners can be seated inside Mori’s open kitchen, so prep early for this seasonal menu.
