But before making the final set up we have traversed a long path and have gone through a lot of brainstorming, research methods. We have done a very vast and authentic research about our selected culture to find our inspiration, took it forward and then did some more research to gather information for framing our final dining set up. After the concept generation we moved to choose our product and sourcing those products; this is the most exciting part of this project. Since we were having a lot of problems in terms of sourcing those products we came up with several alternative plans. So the entire journey was extremely inspiring for our learning. At the end of the day our final product was all about a visual perception; we needed to take care of the aesthetical value of this project also. Because Beauty is a characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure or satisfaction. So the placement and styling those products in context to our selected culture were not so easy. This process book will give an insight of our journey to perfection in an exciting manner. We believe this will be helpful for any student to get a glimpse of how should they go about doing a project like this. We have given our best possible effort to make our project as an attractive

experience for everybody. We are hoping to have constructive feedback for any kind of development in our work.

Assessment BriefYou have to create an experience of a selected culture through a live table setting for 4 people. The concept has to be inspired by a culture; the table layout, tablescape, choice of flowers to cutlery should be in the same theme. Also, finer aspects of styling of the team members and characterization should reflect the chosen culture inspired theme.

Following are the deliverables of this project:1. Process Book2. Sourcing plan with brands 3. Live Table Setup

After doing research on all five culture we narrowed down on Russia and Russian culture.

Why we choose Russia??Being a part of the super powerful countries for a long time on this planet Russia had always been a very interesting topic for us. The most developed country in astronomy had always been exciting us with its sheer elegance. But even if Russia is one of the most talked about countries in this world because of whatever reasons; people actually aren’t aware about its core culture except its Vodka. So after our little ground level research and brainstorming for us Russia seemed to be a very famous country which is actually unknown to the entire world in terms of its authentic cultural extravaganza. We felt that this country could be a very good topic for our project in terms of challenge quotient. And our eager desire for knowing about Russia initiated us to consider Russia as our topic. When we came to know about Russian culture; its magnificent color story, unconventional diversity, finger licking food, amazing crockery’s, Fashion, Mytroshka doll and a lot other things started inspiring us in many other ways. In order to present something unknown and to experience a fresh spectacular vision through research and learning process we finalized Russia as our topic for this project.

Primary ResearchAs our primary research we considered to visit only two places in Delhi since there were very less resources regarding Russian culture. We tried to find out some Russian restaurants in Delhi but we ended up finding only two Russian restaurants which are closed now.Drusba Cafe in Russian Centre and Bline in Chanakyapuri.So we had only two places to visit to gather as much information as we could.

Russian Cultural CentreFirst we decided to visit Russian cultural centre near Connaught place, New Delhi. Mrs. Bhalla, head of the cultural centre in many ways to understand Russian Culture and to get a direction to start our secondary research also. We visited the art exhibition gallery of a Russian Artist who actually took India as his inspiration. That gallery helped us to figure out the cultural significance and transition between India and Russia during British Colonial Era. We got to see a lot of authentic Russian craftwork and other paintings also which were just amazing. Here we got the first introduction about Mytroshka Doll. As a whole this visit was really very helpful to comprehend each and every little aspects about Russia which improved our vision for doing the secondary research.

Russian Embassy Somehow we managed to visit Russian Embassy also; thought it was not that fruitful visit. We went there in order to interview Russian people over there. Since most of the visitors in embassy were generally from a bureaucratic position we weren’t being allowed take their interview. Except them we managed to take a few interviews of some very less Russian people (who were not from a bureaucratic post) and got visionary about Russian culture which in some way assist us to do our research.

SECONDARY RESEARCH


The secondary data was gathered through various websites.Multiple books about Russian culture, dinning etiquettes, Russian Fashion and art were referred to.Data once gathered from all these sources was sifted through, edited and we finalised our theme for our final dinning set up

Doing the secondary data was not so easy since it was a research about vast country which has a very strong cultural diversity. We got to know about so many craftworks and all other aspects in a detailed manner that we got confused about finalising our inspiration; however we sorted these things out very quickly and go ahead with our work.

Figure 25: Russian flag

Figure 26: Book on Lacquered miniatures Figure 27: Russian table setup

The largest country on this planet has several multidimensional aspects in its culture. After finishing our research we came to know about the vast diversity and the authentic traditional culture of Russia which is quite interesting. If you’ll go to Russia you’ll see a lot of pointed architecture whose upper portions are actually like onions; not only but you’ll be able to see an amazing color story happening in those kinds of architectures. Actually eclectic color story is something very iconic in Russia. Juxtaposition of blue, red, white and sometimes black will be seen everywhere in Russia; be it architecture, craftwork or paintings. Fabulous craftwork includes gzel painting, khokklomo, palekh miniature, filomonovo toys and many other things. And obviously we can’t avoid Mytroshka doll. The dolls in ascending order in terms of height have added an extravaganza in Russian culture. Even traditional Russian make up is also inspired by this iconic Russian dolls. Russia has its magnificent history of ballet dancing and a lot other dance forms. Russian dance forms actually comprises with quite exciting physical activities like squats, kick, gif. Russia is famous for its spectacular science fiction films. Movies like Stalker, Solaris, Planeta bur, Aelita, Teens in the Universe have left remarkable positions in world cinema.World famous Russian literature has been making people mesmerised with its majestic essence. Being a true Russian people can’t live without Pushkin’s poetry, Belinsky’s novel , Nobokov’s glorious words. Russia has the largest no. of lady doctors in their country and it has more female population than that of male which could be surprising for many other countries. One should not leave Russia without tasting creamy Russian food. And the last but not the least message; visit to Russia is incomplete without the essence of chicken-a-la-kiev, luscious blini, mouth watering Russian soups and eccentric Russian salad, so don’t even think to avoid it otherwise you won’t be able to get a full Russian experience.

Russian CuisineIt is a collection of the different cooking traditions of the Russian people. The cuisine is diverse, as Russia is by area the largest country in the world. Russian cuisine derives its varied character from the vast and multi-cultural expanse of Russia. Moreover, it is necessary to divide Russian traditional cuisine and Soviet cuisine, which has its own peculiarity. Its foundations were laid by the peasant food of the rural population in an often harsh climate, with a combination of plentiful fish, poultry, caviar, mushrooms, berries, and honey. Crops of rye, wheat, barley and millet provided the ingredients for a plethora of breads, pancakes, pies, cereals, beer and vodka. Soups and stews full of flavour are centered on seasonal or storable produce, fish and meats. This wholly native food remained the staple for the vast majority of Russians well into the 20th century.

Russia’s great expansions of culture, influence, and interest during the 16th–18th centuries brought more refined foods and culinary techniques, as well as one of the most refined food countries in the world. It was during this period that smoked meats and fish, pastry cooking, salads and green vegetables, chocolate, ice cream, wines, and juice were imported from abroad. At least for the urban aristocracy and provincial gentry, this opened the doors for the creative integration of these new foodstuffs with traditional Russian dishes. The result is extremely varied in technique, seasoning, and combination.

In their manners the Russians exhibit their usual failure to do anything by halves. They will apologise instantly if they interrupt you in mid-sentence, kiss your hand if you are a woman, help you find your way if you are lost in a city by actually going with you to your destination, however far it takes them out of their way. Children are constantly being coached in good manners and ticked off if they do not come up to scratch.Russians never specify days of the week, such as “next Monday”, or “Wednesday”, only “the 13th”, “the 4th” (of the month).The general public used to queue almost as readily as the British used to - whether for oranges or to collect their coats from the cloakroom after a concert. Now jostling and pushing goes on in the street when getting on to buses, trams and the metro.At table, the Russians help themselves without asking, which is a relief for Western Europeans and Americans who live in constant fear of inadvertently neglecting their neighbor. Russians consider it important to make regular and frequent toasts. No-one should even start drinking at table without making a polite toast to demonstrate that they are aware of their surroundings and want to share the pleasure.No-one finds it necessary to listen in silence while someone makes a speech at a formal social occasion. At an inaugural dinner and prize-giving of a major cultural award by a Western European company none of the Russian intelligentsia accepted their place settings, and chaos prevailed as literary and other luminaries roamed around the dining hall moving chairs and making non-sense of the carefully-organized seating plan. At the theatre or concert hall, it is now de rigueur to have changed into something smart. High-heeled shoes are taken in a bag to change into if it is snowy outside. Russian women are very chic and are currently basking in the new opportunities for displaying their awareness of fashion. The days of workers’ dungarees are definitely over.It is usual in a railway carriage to offer round anything you have brought with you to eat or drink; it is considered good form to be sociable and hospitable at all times, also generous. A visiting vicar was

appalled when he was offered as a gift a precious old ikon of the patron saints of his host’s church, one of the few pieces of genuinely old church furniture remaining since the church had been closed for 75 years. Luckily, the Russian incumbent was reminded by a parishioner standing nearby that the ikon (which was covered in gold leaf) would never get through the Customs.he Russians give each other bear hugs in public, men and women alike. Some observers noted as significant the marked absence of a bear hug for Gorbachev when he was met on his return to Moscow from his confinement in the Crimea during the August 1991 coup. However, it is claimed in his defence that he had banned the sentimental hugging and kissing that used to go on whenever one geriatric Eastern European leader met another and so the jury must remain out on that one.When Russians greet each other they use the normal European repertoire: Good morning; Good day; Good evening or Greetings. They might follow that up with: “Kak pozhyvaitse?” (How’s life?) Or “Kak dela?” (How are things/ how’s business?) To which the conventional reply is a shrug of the shoulders and the terse response: “Normalno” (O.K.).The word normalno is very useful in Russian. It sums up what everyone there is yearning for: to live a normal life. Not straining every sinew to beat the Americans at their own game. Not leading the world in some mad competition to prove that “our” system is better than “yours”. A normal life is all the Russians want just now, thank you.The Russians shake hands with strangers, but never across the threshold for that is considered very bad luck. When visiting someone’s house or office you must either go all the way in, or wait until he has come all the way out, before greeting each other. Close friends kiss three times, for three is a lucky number. The Russians say “God loves the Trinity” whenever things happen in threes.Before leaving on a journey, Russians sit down quietly together for a few moments. This is (they say) to give their soul time to re-enter their body from wherever it is lounging about elsewhere in the house.

CROCEKRY BRANDS


Lomonosov The Imperial Porcelain Factory, is a producer of handpainted ceramics in Saint Petersburg, Russia. It was established by Dmitry Ivanovich Vinogradov in 1744. and was supported by the Romanov tsars since Empress Elizabeth. Many still refer to the factory by its well-known former name, Lomonosov Porcelain Factory.It was the first porcelain company in russia and the third in all of europe europe. This is where the talented russian scientist dmitry vinogradov (1720-1758) discovered the secret of making “white gold.” He was the first in the history of ceramics was a scientific description of porcelain PRODUCTION, which is close to the latest concepts of ceramic chemistry.IPM porcelain was famous for its exceptional quality. It was produced from paste made of the highest quality ingredients on up-to-date equipment. This paste was stored in cellars for 10 years before use in production.The Art Nouveau style influenced the shapes of the porcelain. Porcelain was produced with whimsically curved

forms decorated by stylized plants, mermaids and other Art Nouveau motifs. As a rule, the vases were covered by underglaze decor. Every vase had a unique form. The underglaze decoration made it possible for the artists to paint changeable seasons and winter landscapes.

Zhostovo Decorative Art Manufactory Zhostovo hammered trays are created according to the old

tradition of hand smithery. Hammered trays owe their configuration, SIZE and proportion to the artistic feeling of a smith.The idea of carved HANDLES and smooth curves at the border of a tray belongs to Zhostovo masters of smithery.Every hammered tray which was created at the Zhostovo Decorative Art Manufactory has got its own special number. Quality of a hammered tray is endorsed by a certificate. The certificate also contains the NAME of a smith who created a tray and the name of the artist who painted it.Each hammered tray is hand painted and as an object of art has only ONE life. There were cases when artists attempted to make copies of their own trays but the mystery of the tradition and the mystery of inspiration almost zeroes chances of repetition. Hammered trays are packed in beautiful hand made boxes that FOLLOW the shape of the tray.

Since we were approaching towards our final table setup we had to do little brainstorming about our theme. At the end we came up with 3-4 options which could be taken as our inspirations. After all our argument and discussions we finalised our dinning set up is going to be in imperial attire. During our research we found a lot about royal dinning; which reflects the fascinating foodie nature of Tsar. The color story mostly was blue with a lot of golden touch. If we are talking about Russia obviously we can’t avoid its history; the glorious Tsardom era which dated back in 16th century. This was something we found extremely appropriate in order to add an authentic essence to our final arrangement. The next we had for some other elements in our table was khokloma craftwork. This craftwork includes a lot of red and golden wild floral prints generally on a black background. Especially the dark mystery of that print mixed with a primitive touch made us excited. But this kind of unconventional prints weren’t available in markets and sourcing those products was really difficult. So again we had to go with little bit of permutation combination.We luckily had zhostovo print as an option for our little elements in table set up. The zohstovo print was originally been done on metal in earlier days; now it’s available on ceramics also. Again a little bit of floral story mixed with lifestyle phenomenon in context of a red, golden, blue and black color scenario. We considered this our inspiration because we wanted an imperial fine dine with a truly Russian affaire. So for adding the core essence of Russia we finalised this craftwork as another inspiration.Since traditional clothing is one of the most captivating features in Russian culture we considered their color story as a main element for our dinning set up. The color story is actually similar to our royal attire also. Because of this strong cultural significance we took the color narration which includes red, royal blue and white as the visual bloom of our table setting.

At first we tried not to use golden soup spoon to create free space. But using the soup spoon with the similar print of the bowl didn’t work. The print on the spoon wasn’t working at all since it was looking like an animal print.

We moved to color the dolly in the similar color story and put them under those plates; but it was looking very heavy in terms of fine dine

We tried to put dolly under the bread plates. But it was killing our entire set up since the cutwork on that dolly was a like Indian motif.

REJECTSAND REASONING

We tried to use white napkin in a candle fold manner in order to give a subtle feel. But it came up to be very blank and was not supporting our imperial theme at all.


The placement of the knife and fork is not right

Even painted dolly under the soup bowls is not

working

The liner plate is too big for the soup bowl.

Three glasses for every plate will be very heavy in terms of our dinning set up. It will destroy the elegance of royal feeling

Red napkin is final; but we need to change the fold of this napkin. Let’s do a bird of paradise

As per our research and our concept we tried to incor-porate an authentic Russian experience through our dinning set up. Golden cutleries on royal blue are add-ing an imperial accent to the whole attire. The print of the small bread plate kept at the left side of each plate is borrowed from Zhostovo print. We have kept the col-or of all crockery except soup bowl and bread plate in golden and white combination in order to keep a royal setup. The traditional Russian clothing also supports to have a blue, golden and white combination. To attach a little loudness we kept our napkins in red color in a Bird of Paradise manner. In order to reduce the space crunch we kept only two glasses (one for water and the other for wine) for each plate. To create an aesthetical balance we have put only dinner fork, dinner knife, salad fork, soup spoon and dessert spoon. Otherwise the amount of gold color would have been heavier than others. Since we are doing a set up for a fine dine we tried to keep it very minimal with a little regal essence of Tsardom. 8THE ULTIMATE
