Abstract

Balaton Borders translates ecological data from Lake Balaton into ceramic tableware that represents human impact on the landscape, from reedbed reduction to shoreline modification and land erosion. Designed for performative dining, the pieces turn shared meals into multisensory encounters where food and data ceramics spark collective reflection on ecological disruption.
