CONCEPT INSPIRATION
​
Aromatic spices and tactical blending are the keys to Malaysian cooking. From the Stone Age until today, mortar and pestle are the tools we use when come to prepare ingredients or substances in the kitchen. Blending by using mortar and pestle is an iconic process when doing cooking with spices. The concept "permeation" is inspired by the gap changes in the blending process. In the beginning, the gap between spice grains is wider, getting closer when smashing them and in the end, gaps become wider again.
