What we do
At Salty Studio, our idea is that if you combine all the 5 senses in an experience, you will remember it very strongly. We work through the medium of food but we also use graphics, design and technology to create our experiences. We host workshops, supper clubs, corporate and private events. Focusing on the senses, we aim to tell stories and create interactive experiences for our guests to remember. Combining food and design we want to explore innovative ways to convey messages and transmit emotions, through textures, colours, flavours, aromas and more.

TED Talk: Design for all 5 senses - Jinsop Lee
This video opened our eyes about how we can use our 5 senses to create even better experiences that we will remember. Following their graph design they created, we made our own to show how we would like to be!
Our analysis
Here is the usual pop up, supper club, company event.
Taste is usually the focus, spaces can be original but often overlooked. Smell usually comes with taste but we feel this can be pushed a little further. Touch usually happens only through the cutlery (if this is sophisticated restaurant, of course we won't judge how you eat at home). The usual hearing aspect is the noise from people talking around you and some background music.
But how can this all be enhanced a little further?
How we do it
This is how we want our events to be! (we can't be perfect hence the 9 score!). As you can see, our aim is to enhance all the senses. Not all at the same time of course because if not that would be a little too much sensory overload. But our view is that by understanding what the sensory experience is and elevating some of the senses, the experience will be of much higher value and guests will remember the event a lot longer.

Touch
We're used to feeling through our fingers, what about through other parts of our body?
Sound
Can sound affect taste?
Sight
We see with our eyes, but how much do we actually see?
Taste
Defining flavours, but also textures and sensations
Smell
How does smell influence what we eat, can it trigger memories?
