HI-MACS as designer dishware

Gastronomy has never been so close to design. Dutch designer Henk Bosschers, director of Binnenwerk Vorgevers, has combined his talent with that of Jonnie and Therese Boer, owners of the restaurant Librije in Zwolle (Netherlands) to create modern dishware.

This is a new concept in the way of presenting plates, achieved thanks to this extraordinary dishware executed in HI-MACS®. Designing a plate may seem simple, but this is not the case if you are looking to produce grand creations. With its remarkable properties as guarantee, HI-MACS® was the material chosen to give shape to this unique project. Bringing design to the simplest elements and turning them into something more than everyday objects – this is what Hank Bosschers has achieved thanks to his contributions to the restaurant Librije, going beyond the simple utilitarian concept of dishware.

The similarity between the designer and Jonnie Boer, one of the restaurant’s owners, played a very important role when it came to designing this project. The inspiration needed to create the different designs comes from the exchange of ideas between the two and from the freedom given to the designer by the restaurant owner. It was also essential to be able to take full advantage of the material.

As the designer notes: “We chose HI-MACS® because it’s easy to work with and the material has matchless potential for being able to be shaped into different forms, creating openings, adjusting it, or creating undulating lines.” All of these options are possible thanks to the thermoformability of the acrylic stone.
