About Michel / Fabian

Science / Art inspired design to enhance the sensual pleasure of eating. Conscious Eating Technology In 2014, Charles Michel and Andreas Fabian started developing a series of eating utensils thinking of the tool as an extension of the hand. They were connected thanks to Professor Charles Spence, head of the University of Oxford's Cross Modal Laboratory, who literally wrote the book on Gastrophysics (“The scientific study of those factors that influence our multisensory experience while tasting food and drink.”) and is a pioneering researcher and innovator in the field. Michel was performing multisensory culinary research as Chef in Residence in Professor Spence's lab at Oxford's Department of Experimental Psychology. Fabian was an accomplished luxury designer with a PhD in Spoons. Inspired by centuries of cutlery design and recent scientific research in the fields of food aesthetics and gastrophysics, Michel / Fabian eating utensils and vessels are an elegant approach to the act of eating, enhancing the pleasure of food, and encouraging healthier consumption behaviours. Michel / Fabian objects marry design innovation, tradition, and attention to detail to accomplish truly beautiful and functional Conscious Eating Technology.
