More than 14.000 visitors visited the Big Food Market space last year, and for this second edition of 2016 it is intended to establish a conjunction between gastronomy and design in such a way that a joint work between chefs, restaurants and designers is generated, to create a series of totally innovative culinary proposals within its field.

An interesting way to promote and encourage food design or gastronomic design, an emerging discipline in our country, while meeting the expectations of the most demanding palates.

A Market with prizes

In this year’s edition, an initiative is presented in a competition format where the Designers Association of Madrid and the Madrid Design Foundation (DIMAD) and Mercamadrid, convene the first Big Food Design Awards, distinctions that seek to raise designers to a new challenge, that of uniting taste not only for food but also for space, and decoration of restaurant rooms.

A score of proposals will be evaluated by a professional jury, where the award is endowed with well-deserved recognition and the not inconsiderable figure of € 4.000.

Proof of the scope and prestige of the proposals, we highlight that of the Yorokobu Market, a market of designers, whose works have a close relationship with gastronomy, and of producers with a sustainable profile.

The gastronomic Market

In the development of gastronomic activities, it will be sought to be able to perfectly combine the offer of drinks and food with something smaller, the miniature lid or plateThey will be the best exponents of the Big Food Market, not by size but by quality.

With an offer of varied dishes between € 3 and € 6, the visitor will be offered a true artistic creation, now on the plate, where design and culinary art will go hand in hand.

There are a total of 20 proposals, which will take the diner to a unique sensory experience in which not only the palate enters the game, but also the conceptual, the consumption experience and / or the ritual.
