elBulli as a restaurant will close this season to become a foundation in two years, elBULLI FOUNDATION. However the projects don´t stop and Ferran Adrià is thinking constantly. Together we are developing an ambitious idea for a tableware research and development center.
We are currently working on the idea and looking for the best sponsor. The final idea will be announced next year.
On the other hand we are designing for him new tableware proposals. Nowadays we are adapting the designs that we have designed during this year for their final use, adapting them to manufacturing processes that you can see below.

GIFRE · “WINGS OF ATLANTA” sculpture
Category: Sculpture (Contest finalist)
Artist: PERE GIFRE
Project manager: DANIEL MOLINA
Partners: Jose María Velasco (AMATRIA Engineering) and Lorenzo Barón (Manufacture Manager)
Place: Transition Hall · Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
This Project, “Wings of Atlanta” has been chosen as one of the five projects selected to submit a large hanging sculpture proposal (23x14x5m) for the Transition Hall site of Atlanta International Airport (USA), the busiest airport in the world over 90 million passengers a year.
I had several objectives when approaching the concept and what it should represent: it had to be avant-garde, surprising, symbolic, easily recognizable, dynamic, interactive and it also had to represent flight as something magical and evoke into the viewer the sensation of freedom, the breaking of barriers and reaching new limits. It had to be internationally symbolic and at the same time represent Atlanta and the United States. I also wanted it to represent the beauty of nature and the fragile environment that we have to protect.
el Bulli tableware collection. Ferran Adrià by Gifre.
Year: 2008 – Present
Tableware design: Pere Gifre
Project manager: Daniel Molina.
New tableware collection based on biomimesis and vfx engineering for elbulli restaurant. Designed by Pere Gifre in collaboration with Ferran Adria and elBulli team.
Ferran Adrià he managed to create his own language, something that has turned into a very influential issue on the international scene. This is what I am interested in, I dont care if people consider it as an art or not. It is very important to mention that the artistic intelligence does not depend on the format; we should not relate art only with photography, sculpture, painting, neither with cooking in its most strict sense. But under certain circumstances, cooking can also be considered as an art.
