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 first of a series of five posts, Porowski brings an exotic twist to the work of Karl Springer. To learn more about Porowski and Full Circle Modern, read the full profile<\/a> in Introspective. <\/em><\/p>\n\"mangosticks\"\n

\u201cKarl Springer<\/a> was a master when it came to wrapping furniture,\u201d notes Rice. With these pieces, the German-born, U.S.-based Springer showcases this skill in a wooden console table and matching mirror<\/a> covered in lacquered Indonesian batik fabric. Crunchy, unripe mango sticks, meanwhile, are both a common Southeast Asian street food and have the same vibrant palette as Springer\u2019s piece. Porowski found that the natural variations in the print \u201cgave the pieces a sense of energy and movement,\u201d which he translated into a lively chili-sugar-salt rub used to coat the fruit \u2014 a gesture that also mimics the designer\u2019s enveloping technique.<\/p>\n
