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.

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”
