ElBulli were the first restaurant to employ an industrial designer as
part of its creative team. Between 2002 until 2005 Luki Huber invented
new 'artifacts' used to prepare, cook, serve or perform Adrià's unique
culinary techniques. All his drawings, sketches and beautiful
photographs have been brought together for the first time in this
amazing volume.
ElBulli was undoubtedly the most controversial and experimental 3-star
Michelin restaurant in the world and Ferran Adrià - the chef who earned
elBulli its worldwide fame - has been acclaimed as the best chef in the
world. Ferran and his team at elBulli were the first to employ an
industrial designer as part of their creative team. Luki Huber was that
industrial designer and he spent from 2002 until 2005 at elBulli working
exclusively hand-in-hand with Ferran charged with inventing new
'artifacts' used either to prepare, cook, serve or perform Adrià's
unique culinary techniques.
Luki kept all his drawings, sketches and beautiful photographs from this
collaboration and they are brought together for the first time in this
amazing notebook, with all the explanations of the purpose and stories
behind every object. The book has a prologue and introduction from
Ferran Adrià, and is a must for all devotees of this extraordinary chef
and his restaurant. The results of his work with elBulli combining the
rigors of gourmet cuisine and the innovations of industrial design have
been exhibited in the Pompidou Centre in Paris.
