Interdisciplinary studio based in Berlin merging art and design. Our projects are driven by curiosity—toward science, technology, materials, craft, food, and the senses. We explore how design shapes our perception of the world, placing sensory experience at the center of our creative process. Through a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach, we develop new objects and concepts aimed at enhancing everyday well-being.

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 Moscow

The Robots’ Feast is an immersive dining installation that explores the evolving relationship between humans and machines through food, movement, and interaction. Designed for MARTINI Moscow, the project invites participants to share a meal served by robotic performers—transforming the traditional dining experience into a multisensory performance.

Upon 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.

Guests must stay alert, tracking and reaching for food as it passes—merging hunting instinct with technological interaction. The robotic servers respond to audience behavior, creating a unique and playful dance between control, anticipation, and reward.

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.
