TASTY STORIES is a series of culinary experiences initiated by Hotel SPA Dr Irena Eris. Local food and local context plays a key role in this unique event. Every year since 2018 SUPERGIRLS are designing set design for this series of dinner. Each time the event has a different theme that sets us a context. Each time we came up with a different idea that share one rule - we always use natural materials.
EDITION 2018
Dr Irena Eris Hotel Spa in Krynica Zdrój is located in a polish mountains area, surrounded by a forest. We used forest wonder objects – both edible and inedible and we placed them on a black wooden blocks to reveal their beauty. Forest Cabinet of Curiosity emerged combined with different kinds of moss, mushrooms and lichens. We placed architectural scale figures on the forest displays so guests could play with them during the dinner.
20 meters of tablecloth was hand made by us with a „flour batik” technique to obtain the marble stone effect. The scenography was completed with fern chandeliers hanging from the ceiling construction.

EDITION 2019
Referring to the local wooden architecture, we made veneer chandeliers and combined them with a spruce branches. Elements of evergreen forest, placed in a copper pleated wooden blocks, created a playful „forest estate”. Tablecloth was hand painted to obtain mountain landscape visual effect.

EDITION 2021
Being inspired by a forest, we decided on a minimalist setting to stimulate the senses. The ceiling installation was created out of hounders of veneer stripes moving in the wind. It made a pleasant, sensory stimulating sound, resembling the hum of a woods. The table set design consisted of leaves placed in a glass cylinders filled with water that worked as a magnifying glass revealing extraordinary details of plants.
