Öykü Özal: From Playtime to Plate – How Childhood Memories Inspired My Collaboration with Ornamental by Lameice
What if your most significant dining experience didn’t involve food at all? In this whimsical exploration, Öykü Özal reflects on a childhood game of imaginary restaurants and how it inspired her collaboration with Ornamental by Lameice. Together, we’ve woven nostalgia, tradition, and playful creativity into a design story that bridges cultures and evokes joy. From glassware with a wink to AI-generated table settings, this project celebrates the beauty of whimsy, imperfections, and the deep connections forged around a table.
