Atmosphere

Fondue creates a unique dining experience that can be a casual social event, or an elegant night out.

Wants & Needs is designed around the idea that the customer is a guest, and should be able to customize their dining event.

The menu at this restaurant would be organized so the customer can choose what sides they want.

Each customer would have their own plate of 6 different dipping foods, but would share from the same pot.

Fondue Pot

The fondue pot is designed with inspiration from a splash of chocolate melting.

The pot is glazed a chocolate brown, and elevated

handles give the waiters easy removal.
