Dish

This plate won’t be served in a high end restaurant. Perhaps on a plane, in a hospital or retirement home. The classic dish serves potatoes, vegetables, meat or fish. With a small salad. And last but not least, a dessert.

Thomas uses materials that you want to touch. Stuffed animals for example, or felt. Cuddly material attracts people, he believes. Thomas also uses felt because it reminds us of the furniture in living rooms. People feel comfortable there, at ease.

If you're Thomas Grünfeld, you get a very popular work of art. Thomas is well known for his animal hybrids. The so called Misfits series. He places ill-fitting heads on taxidermy animal bodies. This work is a bit different. Although they’re both cuddly and well designed. You can see his Misfit animals as battles between real and imaginary, good and evil.

Thomas Grünfeld is a German sculptor.
