Urban Food & Design

The New Local

MEIDLING, LOCAL

off plate

25.9.–4.10.2020

Pullover, mask, relaxing music, and communal eating as an experience. On four wonderfully warm autumn afternoons, the courtyard of the Festival Headquarters of the VIENNA DESIGN WEEK in the Amtshaus Theresienbadgasse was filled with noise, cooking, and entertaining. The food events were started by the initiative off plate, which was founded by the wine experts of ebb&flow and the product designer Tanita Klein with the aim of creating a more social and sustainable system of nutrition. During VIENNA DESIGN WEEK, the Festival Headquarters were home to a purpose-built pop-up kitchen, in which local chefs prepared menus with regional and sustainably produced ingredients. The visitors accompanied these with selected, fresh natural wines from Franz Weninger. For off plate, the focus of their events was the relationship between people and food – hence, besides inviting visitors to watch, marvel, and taste, the pop-up kitchen inspired them to discuss where the food that they find on their urban dinner plates actually comes from. In addition to this temporary restaurant, off plate also offered a range of discussion formats related to the subject of sustainable nutrition, production, and delivery systems.
