Designer Katinka Versendaal leads a multi-disciplinary, research driven design studio which uses speculative gastronomy as a tool to provoke an exploration of the nature/culture divide, to uncover the deeply interdependent and intertwined relationships between humans, the world and the beings surrounding us and to envision regenerative and just futures of food.

Food was front and center at this year’s iteration of the buzzy Dutch Design Week.

At Dutch Design Week Eindhoven, Katrinka Versendaal with chef Pepijn Meijers presented 28 Grams of Happiness, a series of multicourse lunch and dinner tastings surrounded by cutting-edge design. Design collective Rive Roshan’s hanging tapestries shown next to designer Mae Engelgeer’s rugs for CC-Tapis were just a few of the pieces that were included in the accompanying design installation curated by Justine Kontou.

I am Katinka Versendaal, the designer and face behind The Eatelier. I am fascinated by big world issues like climate change, health problems and food security issues and what they mean for the way we eat, now and in the future. I wonder how we as humanity have come to this point and therefore I research the historical, ecological and social value perceptions around humans, nature and food and the relationships between humans and non-humans. My subject of research, and my medium for expressing my ideas, is food and its future. I therefore define myself as: “gastronomic futurologist”
