Within, 2024 is a collection of sensorial objects that are inspired by my quest to unlock my senses of smell and taste. They emerged from two years of in-depth research during my MA Design at Central Saint Martins, UAL.

Each piece is designed to playfully excite and delight your senses, engaging your hands, fingers, tongue and mouth to encourage you to be present and savour each moment, thereby elevating aroma, taste and flavour.

Embracing the ethos of mindful eating, Within promotes slow, moderate eating, echoing the wisdom of the Japanese philosophy of Hara Hachi Bu; enhancing pleasure and overall wellbeing.

I invite you to pause, indulge in your senses, and reignite your imagination, to forge meaningful connections with yourself, your food and those sharing the adventure with you.
