"stone installation" at Milan Design Week 2024. the "stone installation" is an ongoing project that expresses the essence of tina's work - the natural colours and various textures of the clays used also for the table ware. the installation is growing with the years, locally and/or temporarily used materials integrate the art piece, then change and stones made out of new materials are added, making it a permanently growing work. milan/2024

new collaboration with sushi chef shunei kimura and his elegant and beautiful michelin star restaurant "sushi shunei" at montmartre in paris. in addition to his amazing sushi course menu, shunei created a new fish course menu which is presented on tina's ceramics. the restaurant has only eight counter seats which allow for watching shunei making the delicious food in front of you. the purity of the ceramics underlines the beautiful colours of the perfectly fresh fish. / photo credit @sadiksansvoltaire / paris / 2021

MOKKO x tina kentner
une collaboration née d’une commune passion autour de l’assiette. côté cuisine: chef cuisinier autodidact arthur hantz, passé par des cuisines de renom comme "l’atelier" de jean-luc rabanel à arles, "le pujol" d’enrique olivera au mexique ou encore le "noma mexique" de rené redzepi. côté céramique: tina kentner, céramiste autodidacte allemande, architecte de formation installée à paris et passée par le japon. elle a découvert sa passion pour la céramique à paris avec guillaume taliercio de ingirum et s’est formée ensuite à kyoto dans plusieurs de ces nombreux ateliers de poterie. la rencontre se fait 3 ans auparavant. avant leur départ au japon, tina et son conjoint stéphane se marient et convoquent leur plus proche famille et amis au restaurant "mokko" d’arthur pour fêter leur union autour d’une suite de délicieux petits plats créés par arthur. le petit restaurant “bistronomique” de 30 places se trouve au coeur d’un quartier branché et confidentiel du 18ème arrondissement de paris. dans un cadre soigné, mais décontracte arthur et son équipe servent tous les soirs un menu du jour et saisonnier à leurs clients accompagnés par des vins de producteurs essentiellement bio ou biodymamiques. a leur retour du japon 3 ans plus tard, tina et stéphane retrouvent arthur chez "mokko" ou celui-ci découvre le travail de céramiste de tina, installé depuis peu dans un atelier à paris. il lui parle de son envie de collaboration avec un artisan, afin de renouveler sa vaisselle et de créer une gamme sur mesure pour "mokko". le projet est né. plusieurs mois d’échange, d’inspiration, de partage et de travail artisanal intense suivront avant que la gamme, créée et fabriquée entièrement par les mains de tina, soit née. sept modèles de bols et d’assiettes, plates et creuses, travaillés en trois terres de textures et couleurs différentes, permettent une multitude d’opportunités de mise en scène des ses plats créatifs à arthur. le travail de tina, qui consiste à mettre en valeur les textures et les teintes naturelles des terres plutôt que de les cacher sous les émaux colorés, crée la base discrète idéale pour les plats colorés et naturels qui sont servis chez "mokko". / paris /2021
