POLAK
We believe design is both a powerful tool for solving real-world challenges and a medium for sparking dialogue—inviting reflection on the cultural, social, and ethical dimensions of contemporary life. Our studio works closely with private clients, architects, companies, and scientists to create unique design experiences, spatial concepts, products, and research-based projects.
This commitment to sensory exploration and critical design is further explored in Omer Polak’s TEDx talk, "Smell as a Design Tool", presented in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The Robots’ Feast
Interactive installation for Martini MoscowUpon entering the space, each guest receives a pair of headphones through which they hear a voiceover narrating a speculative reflection on the future bond between humans and robots. The audio also provides real-time guidance, instructing participants on how to interact with the robots using hand gestures. This intuitive form of communication activates a responsive choreography, with robots gliding across the space, serving fine dining snacks in motion.
By combining theatrical choreography, sensory stimulation, and speculative storytelling, The Robots’ Feast offers a provocative glimpse into the potential of future dining—where nourishment is no longer just about flavor, but about connection, motion, and machine-mediated rituals.
