One example of the silver tableware sets originally sketched out in sugar
Studio Makkink & Bey were asked by Vienna Design Week to create new work for an exhibition on table culture entitled 'Baroque Splendour and Stainless Steel. Table Culture with a Past and a Future.'
They proposed tableware and products in answer to the Habsburg valuables found in the Imperial Silver Collection at the Liechtenstein Museum—a museum exhibiting masterpieces covering five centuries of European art from the collections of Prince Hans-Adam II of Liechtenstein. The show is staged in the special exhibition galleries of the museum until 15th November 2010.
