When a talented private chef meets up with a couple of blue-chip furniture dealers, and ends up with a design-inspired cocktail menu? We call that an eat cute. New York chef Antoni Porowski<\/a> sat down with his friends and clients Barry Rice and Roger Ward \u2014 owners of the 20th century furniture gallery Full Circle Modern<\/a> \u2014 to create party-ready recipes inspired by the look, mood, and materials of some truly stunning design pieces. In the second of a series of five posts, Porowski performs a Space Age twist on the traditional Caprese salad. To learn more about Porowski and Full Circle Modern, read the full profile<\/a> in Introspective. <\/em><\/p>\n\"capresesalad\"\n

Isn\u2019t science fun? Comprised of a series of rotating ball-in-socket joints, this chrome lamp<\/a> \u2014 attributed to lighting designer Robert Sonneman \u2014 has been dubbed a \u201cliving sculpture\u201d by Rice. Porowski sought to capture this sense of motion by transforming the summer-staple caprese salad into a bite-size hors d\u2019oeuvre. In this dish, the lamp\u2019s space-age sensibility is slyly invoked with suspended, solid \u201cpearls\u201d of balsamic vinegar \u2014 a pleasing party trick borrowed from the chemistry behind modernist cuisine.<\/p>\n
