rico supper club is an intimate dining experience where food, art, and design come together to tell stories. Each gathering is carefully curated—a moment in time, a conversation, a fleeting artwork made of flavors, textures, and memories.

With a background in visual arts and communication design, I see food as more than sustenance—it’s a language, a material, a way to connect. Influenced by the various cultures I lived in and explored in my travels, by stories, myths and dreams, every supper is a fusion of ideas and cultures, shaped by curiosity and experimentation.

From the menu to the table setting, every detail is designed to spark dialogue, awaken the senses, and create a shared experience that lingers beyond the meal. At rico supper club, food is not just something to eat—it’s something to be felt, questioned, and remembered.

I’ve started noticing it everywhere. The pale softness of the

🔵This past weekend, I hosted a gathering close to my heart—the Blue Blue Brunch, a sensory and emotional exploration inspired by the depth, beauty, and mystery of the color blue.

What started as a simple idea to come together for our now-tra

JunTes isn’t just a drink—it’s a proposal for connection.

💡🍯 🫧When honey met modern cuisine Part 3/4

Once the Jun was ready, I couldn’t stop experimenting. I wanted to push it further, to see how far I could take honey. That’s when I tried reverse spherification—a modern technique wher

Fermentation is like nature’s alchemy, and making Jun was my first dive into this world. I started with honey, green tea, and a SCOBY—a jelly-like culture of bacteria and yeast—

🐝✨🍯 A discovery through design Part 1/4

When I started my first project at the Food Design Master in Bilbao, I had no idea where it would lead. The brief was simple: How can we make honey more relevant for young people?

Honey is incredible—

Beyond the food, what made the evening truly special was the tradition we shared: writing down what we wanted to leave behind in the year ending and what we hoped to carry forward into the year to come. Th

The magic of this feast wasn’t conjured by my hands alone. I am in immense gratitude to the royal kitchen collaborators who brought this vision to life. Sir Mario, @mario.amaro.dk with his talent for indulgence, crafted the most

So here’s the thing—it wasn’t just a picnic. It was an adventure disguised as lunch, a table with no legs that somehow became the heart of a royal feast. The whole thing started as one of those wild ideas I get, you kn

What if foods could sing, and based on their melodies, we could discern if they are delightful (desirable) or distasteful (devoid of nutrients, decaying…dying)?

An exercise in creative thinking, prototype tinkering and sensorial exploration,
