DESIGN NAME:
Sweet-Kit
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Chilled desert trolley
INSPIRATION:
Restaurateurs have often asked me to design a dessert trolley. The cart had to be chilled, rather large but not cumbersome, very transparent, with a wide opening, light and handy, and beautiful of course.
A trolley from the beginning of the XXth century, signed by Cristofle, had convinced me to look for my own cylinder opening system. After several attempts, I found my solution in August 2016. I had changed my mind. The hood would wrap around the side and not inside.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Pastries need volume and transparency more than any other food. Sweet-Kit is a mobile workstation that enables desserts to be put together in front of diners in the restaurant. The composition of the desserts is showcased under the cylindrical hood - ice cream, pastries, fruit, biscuits, hot and cold sauces, and everything that a pastry chef would need to create their desserts.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
Diners eat desserts with their eyes first. Sweet-Kit can be placed in the restaurant right from the start of service and can be replenished at any time. The 360 degrees opening makes it easy to clean.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project got underway in Toulouse in spring 2016. The non-working prototype was presented at the EquipHotel trade fair in November of that year. The first five trolleys were delivered to Rambouillet, London, Belle île en Mer, Marseille and Porto Vecchio in May 2017.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
Sweet-Kit use the K range’s base. An wooden hull flanked by two acrylic glass discs supports a Krion board. It is suspended over the feet by four stainless steel supports. It contains cold packs and electronics that manage the injection of chilled air. A moulded PMMA hood, set in two moulded wooden rings, rotates 360 degrees around this hull.The PMMA (poly-methyl-methacrylate) transmits more light as than mineral glass. The convex shape of the hood concentrates the light on the products.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Sweet-Kit overall dimensions W x H x D: 875 x 1250 x 550mm. Structure : solid beech, moulded beech, veneer beech. Krion top with sliding tablet. Super-soft wheels on bearings. Eutectic cold pack. Electric module containing a 12V battery. Finish : polyurethane varnishes and lacquers. Packaging: wrapped in sturdy cardboard and strapped to a pallet.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Pastry chefs like to present their products in large, bright and very transparent display cases. Restaurateurs needed dessert carts. I had a little experience with refreshed cheese carts for them. I looked for a product as an extension of my K series. I was convinced that the cylinder opening was the way to go. I looked for a solution based on wood and acrylic glass. After several attempts, I found my solution in August 2016. The hood would roll up around the side and not inside.
CHALLENGE:
I spent several years unsuccessfully seeking a solution. I wanted to design a cylinder trolley but couldn’t manage it. Weary of trying, I gave other models a go. They all drew inspiration to some extent from my cheese trolleys. However, I had trouble with other technical issues. That was until I had the idea of the wood rotating on a PMMA disc. I knew immediately that the idea was promising. However, development was a long and delicate process. Producing a wooden, smooth and reliable sliding ring was difficult and chilling engineering issues proved to be a headache.

The Sweet-Kit Chilled desert trolley is a truly remarkable example of good design that has rightly earned the prestigious Platinum A' Design Award in Furniture Design. This innovative workstation enables desserts to be put together in front of diners in the restaurant, showcasing its composition under a cylindrical hood. This hood wraps around the side and not inside and is made of a combination of wood and acrylic glass. The product is based on the K range’s base, with a wooden hull flanked by two acrylic glass discs and suspended over the feet by four stainless steel supports. The convex shape of the hood also concentrates the light on the products, providing more transparency than mineral glass. All of these features make Sweet-Kit a must-have in any restaurant.

The Sweet-Kit is a truly remarkable piece of furniture design. It is a mobile workstation that provides the perfect platform to showcase the art of dessert-making. The cylindrical hood and clever use of wood and acrylic glass allows for a bright, transparent display of the pastries, ice cream, fruit, biscuits, hot and cold sauces, and all the other ingredients needed for preparing a delicious dessert. The ingenious cylinder opening system is a fantastic solution and the wooden, smooth and reliable sliding ring is a great engineering feat. The use of PMMA for the hood is both aesthetically pleasing and functional, as it transmits more light than mineral glass and the convex shape of the hood concentrates the light on the products. It is no surprise that Sweet-Kit has been awarded the A' Design Award for Furniture Design.
