V-ZUG at Milan Design Week 2025

Banquet Echoes by Elisa Ossino

Banquet Echoes is an inspirational multi-sensory installation with performative acts conceived by the renowned designer and architect Elisa Ossino. The installation fuses visual, tactile, sound and culinary elements to evoke an engaging experience that narrates the story of V-ZUG, bridging the realms of technology and art.

V-ZUG’s high-tech precision kitchen products are at the heart of the installation, showcasing the brand’s commitment to innovation and design inspired by artistic research applied to everyday life. Delicate culinary tastings, curated by the V-ZUG Gourmet Academy, take centre stage on a sculptural table. In the evenings, the installation transforms into an intimate and performative setting. Surprise interludes by Attilio Cristiani of Teatro delle Moire immerse guests in an atmosphere reminiscent of Cabaret Voltaire. Three performers dressed by the textile sculptor Matteo Idini (Midi) will explore the sculptural potential of fabric, transforming clothing into contemporary art. With live cooking from the Gourmet Academy, the performance fuses culinary, design and visual poetry.

“Through the interplay of light, theatrical performances and culinary happenings, the installation brings art into everyday life, highlighting the beauty and precision of technology while elevating the oven as an object of art and innovation.” Elisa Ossino
