Enigma is the last gastronomic expression of Albert Adrià in all its aspects: kitchen, cellar and cocktail bar. A maze experience ideated to generate an enigmatic feeling and immerse the diner into an environment of mystery. Food is innovative, with unique textures and proportions, and interiors, dishware and cutlery are designed until the last bit of detail creating a full and new concept worth tasting.
Nacar’s challenge with Enigma was to adequately express the richness and the complexity of Enigma’s experience through versatile and disruptive dishware.
We explored different methods to design complex surfaces utilizing parametric and algorithmic modeling tools and found that we were able to express through additive manufacturing unique textures, structures and applications that reduce weight leading innovation through shape and form.
