Design the perfect dish for your favorite dish. That was the challenge posed by Kristos Mavrostomos and Anna van der Leij of the Chil-Dish project<\/a> to children visiting Helsinki Design Week<\/a> in Finland last September. (You may remember us writing about it here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

As you can imagine, children loved this and by the end of the week there were over 300 drawings to choose from! Anna and Kristos had no easy task picking the ten winners as the ideas were all fun and imaginative but the winning designs not only needed to be creative, they had to translate into a 3D model that was suitable for us to print for them in porcelain.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t share the magic of our printing in porcelain as it\u2019s still a secret, but we can share the winning designs\u2014complete with the child\u2019s favorite dish. Because, after all, that was the challenge and what\u2019s a porcelain dish without food?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where Restaurant OLO comes in. Located in Helsinki, they received 26th place in the White Guide<\/a> (the Nordic equivalent of the Michelin Guide) last year, making them the best restaurant in Finland for 2015. So good food was guaranteed!<\/p>\n

The chefs from Restaurant OLO took the Chil-Dish winners to different shops and markets to buy the ingredients for their dish and helped them prepare it. \u00a0As you can see from the photos and video, this was a one-of-a-kind experience that took children through the process of bringing their ideas to life.<\/p>\n
