We Are Ona Brings Immersive Culinary Art to MATTER and SHAPE
The event, held in a Willo Perron-designed space, showcased Luca Pronzato and chef Imogen Kwok’s tasting menus.
At the second edition of MATTER and SHAPE, creative dining studio We Are Ona unveiled a unique experience that merged culinary art and performance inside the Jardin Des Tuileries.
Directed by Luca Pronzato, the event was set in a space designed by Willo Perron, adorned with mirrors. Perron drew inspiration from the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts, creating a tribute to the early days of modernism by blending contemporary elegance with formality. The setting was further enhanced by majestic FLOS lamps seamlessly integrated into the NO GA mirrors, creating an immersive environment where every detail enriched the overall experience.
London-based chef Imogen Kwok was invited to bring the culinary aspect to life. Known for her striking food installations that blend art, design, and gastronomy, chef Kwok presented two tasting menus to culminate the pop-up event.
Each dish was a performance in itself, with the food serving as captivating spectacles. The precision of gestures and the unveiling of ingredients enhanced the dining experience, sparking curiosity and engaging the senses far beyond taste.
