Castels: A Creative Abstraction of Castle Typologies

Bulent Unal presents Castels, a series of sauce dishes inspired by architectural works from different continents. The design encapsulates the essence of castles, moats, and bridges, reimagined as functional and aesthetic elements for food presentation.

Each porcelain sauce bowl is approximately 180mm in diameter, with the option for a metal or natural stone bridge. The set is designed to be sold individually, allowing consumers to curate their own collection.

The bridge's movable feature prevents dripping, ensuring a seamless dining experience. The project, initiated in March 2020, culminated in November 2020, resulting in a visually striking and practical addition to the dinner table.

Unal's meticulous research into the fluidity properties of sauces and the appropriate depth for the containers underpins the functionality of Castels. The design overcame the challenge of abstracting castle typologies into a new and innovative function, resulting in a product that is both memorable and aesthetically pleasing.

Castels has been recognized with the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in 2021, acknowledging its outstanding creativity and contribution to enhancing the quality of life through art, science, design, and technology.
