Far from traditional dinners, this extraordinary experience offers a fun and creative alternativ to celebrate love.
During this event, Fud Läb has crafted a menu using various products from cluster members in an unexpected and innovative manner. The goal is to introduce or reintroduce regional and/or innovative products from our partners.
As chefs we believe that such collaborations with innovative products and producers is the key to a sustainable future in terms of food.
Every year since 2017, Raphaël designs a new collection proposing innovative ways of eating with his concept of augmented gastronomy. He establishes new dialogues between the individual, their meal, and the objects that enable them to eat.
We've had the honor of participating in several Designer's Table dinners, where we crafted menus inspired by these objects, as well as the concept behind them.

With this project, we wanted to take our young guests through a sensory and creative experience during which they could experiment with different tastes, textures and cooking techniques.
The idea is to treat the young generation as the actors and consumers of tomorrow's culinary univers.
For "Driving the Human" a Berlin-based Art festival, Fud Läb pitched an entire menu created by AI.
"The speed at which the ideas, innovations and inventions are emerging on the back of artificial intelligence has no historical precedent and is fundamentally disrupting everything in the human ecosystem."
Jayshree Pandya
The idea is to question whether technology could ever outperform human knowledge and creativity in relation to food. For this project, AI was considered as a sort of higher intelligence, a powerful force that goes beyond our current individual and collective grasp.
On the occasion of the release of Kenzo's Memento N°4 Collection, which commemorates Kenzo Takada's love for tomatoes, we were commissioned by Kenzo to develop a culinary concept.
Conceptualizing not only a plate but a complete menu around a single product has pushed us to redouble our creativity and to step out of a certain comfort zone by pushing our limits and those of an ingredient so common and yet so rich.
“We played with the simplicity of sweetness and the contradictory complexity of acidity, resulting in a menu that was both surprising and full of flavor.”
Fun, whimsical, yet practical - the tomato never disappoints.
SATWA is a vibrant district, one of the oldest in Dubai, away from the gleaming skyscrapers and facades of glass that have become synonymous with the fast-growing metropolis. Noisy, chaotic, and always busy no matter what time of day, Satwa is the real heartbeat of Dubai.
You could stroll down this street and browse shop after shop of Indian, Pakistani and Arab delicacies, or take in the array of goods, from sun-umbrellas to bejeweled phone covers, that line the store windows.
Or you could stop by for a quick munch at one of the many local cafeterias and gaze at the incredible hive of activity around you.
