Earlier this year Ferran Adria (the one, the zeitgeist) of the renowned El Bulli on Spain’s Costa Brava announced a collaboration with Spanish designer Armand Basi, to create “Couture for the Table” a line of tableware, chef gear and t-shirts. Juste de Nin (pictured with Adria), Armand Basi’s creative manager is the lead artistic director with much input from Adria. The official launch (with the goods on display) happened about two weeks ago at a press breakfast in Barcelona’s La Casa Llotja de Mar. The line will be sold in Spain, Japan, Europe and the US.
Adria may be coming to New York this November to promote the line and the recent stateside publication of his gastro-tome El Bulli 1998-2002. There may be a New York showroom in the works on West 34th Street. Distribution's not yet been confirmed, so it’s unclear where it will be available in America. The retail debut was originally scheduled for this November, but sources say it may be delayed until January. Until then snack on these photos and make your wish-list.
