Description We're living in an era where outdoor activities are losing their authenticity, with people diverting from the benefits of conscious immersion, where feeling should be at the heart of practices. This is due to technological innovations that focus on performance monitoring and emphasise quantifiable, measurable data. At the same time, social networks are transforming landscapes into mere backdrops, with every photo taken feeding a quest for digital validation.
The Fjällmat project was developed in response to these circumstances, aiming to counter these trends and restore the value of authenticity in outdoor experiences. The project focuses on mealtimes, which are often neglected during expeditions, and turns them into an opportunity to interact with our environment.
Thanks to this innovative kit, you can cook real, tasty and varied meals that are worthy of those prepared at home, while meeting the specific constraints of adventure, such as ergonomics.
Innovation This concept goes far beyond a simple plate designed to hold a meal. It enables you to create a fully modular, customisable work surface designed for outdoor use.
Whether you're dining alone or with friends, the Fjällamt table becomes an interactive product that invites users to design the perfect layout for the number of guests, their culinary preferences, and the specific features of the location. Consisting of a wooden top and bioplastic legs, it combines simplicity and ingenuity. Each tray has dual functionality: a hollow side that can be used as a plate or container and a flat side that is perfect for cutting ingredients.
This kit promotes well-being, turning mealtimes into a special experience.
Product Detail This product strikes the perfect balance between sleek, modern design and a deep commitment to responsible manufacturing. Designed to meet the expectations of discerning users, it combines reliability, aesthetics, and environmental responsibility. It is designed to leave almost no trace if lost in nature, with no toxic glue, paint, varnish or non-biodegradable plastic or wood used in its composition.
The top, the central element of the product, is made from FSC-certified glued laminated beech. This certification guarantees that the wood comes from sustainably managed forests that respect the preservation of natural resources and local communities.
The legs are made from a bioplastic polymer (PHA), a type of biodegradable plastic used in 3D printing that is produced by the fermentation of plant sugars by bacteria. As it is composed of microorganisms, it breaks down quickly in natural environments.
To enhance the stability of the tray and add an aesthetic touch, cork pads have been added to the underside of the legs to absorb any unevenness in the floor.
Specification This kit is based on the concept of affordance, with a simple design: a machined wooden tray weighing around 400 g with dimensions of 300 mm in diameter and 18 mm in thickness. This is complemented by three 25 g bioplastic feet, each measuring 42 mm in height and 40 mm in diameter. With a total weight of around 500 g, the kit can easily be attached to a bag and is perfectly suited to the specific demands of outdoor activities, offering a combination of lightness and ergonomics.
Bio A designer with a passion for outdoor sports. Always seeking adventure and a connection with nature, I have always looked for reliable, durable and ergonomic equipment. It was this personal quest that naturally led me to design my own equipment, tailored to my needs in the field. Today, as a designer, I strive to balance technical requirements with social responsibility, adopting an approach that is mindful of the limits of our resources.
