What do you think the functionality of this object is, and how does it fit into an interior?
You can use it for beautiful flowers or herbs and branches of your choice. As we're in the season, the vase can be used for a bunch of carrots and their green tops, cooked or raw, sticking out.
Can you tell us about your relationship with the world of food and tableware?
I love having someone cook for me, just as much as I love cooking. I think both activities are very relaxing and grounded in reality. As you can imagine, I like to set the table with my own ceramics, in an eclectic, even improvised way. In general, I like to keep an open mind about how things are done.
What are your culinary inspirations? Does your background set the tone for your daily cooking?
What I love most is vegetarian cooking using seasonal ingredients. Eating local and seasonal food is really important to me. I grew up in Slovakia and my family always had gardens. We ate a lot of seasonal foods, with a big culture of fermenting and preparing for the winter season. I'd say I like to borrow from different cultures and try new things. But I really like simple meals, with few ingredients and quality products.
