Dumpling Column

Student Project
Dumpling Column (Kluskolumna)
The objective of the "Bulwa" project is to elevate popular Polish potato-based dishes to new heights. My specific task was to design a dish for gray dumplings - or kluski, as we call them in Poland.
I aimed to interpret this theme literally while paying homage to the folk heritage of the Greater Poland (Wielkopolska) region, where this traditional dish has its roots. To achieve this, I crafted a pedestal resembling a column, which can hold either a plate or a single dumpling, depending on the desired presentation. The base is adorned with an ornament inspired by traditional embroidery from Krajna, a historical region in northern Greater Poland.
