What happens when you start making the things around you with the same curiosity as the things you serve?
We’ve been experimenting with clay pigments, natural dyes and old processes. This curtain for our kitchen door was dyed by hand using clay.
It’s also been given a second life. The fabric was originally one of the tablecloths from A Table for Wi******er, our (comm) dinner at the Great Hall. We wanted to bring it back into our practice rather than let it sit in storage after one night.
The curtain is a Japanese noren, traditionally used in restaurants, shops and kitchens. We liked the idea of using one here because it creates a boundary without becoming a barrier.
The kitchen stays connected to the rest of RØST. Light, air, people and energy can still move through it.
That sense of flow is important to us. In Feng Shui, entrances are seen as points where energy enters and moves through a space. A softer threshold allows that energy to circulate rather than stopping it at a closed door.
It felt right for our kitchen. A place where heat, food, people, ideas and energy are constantly moving.
The clay colour is also the beginning of a shift in how RØST looks and feels.
You’ll start to see more clay, terracotta, natural pigments, warmer neutrals and raw materials finding their way into the space.
But the change isn’t just visual.
We’re going deeper into research and experimentation across everything we do. Food, fermentation, drinks, materials, ritual, design and space.
We’re building a living library of knowledge around RØST. Testing things, documenting what we learn, keeping what works and letting one experiment lead into the next.
The things we make, serve and surround ourselves with are becoming part of the same practice.
The colours are changing.
The materials are changing.
The practice is deepening.
RØST is entering a new phase.
