Eating alone is a solitary act, a routine, almost a mechanical necessity. Yet sharing food and drink with someone special, in a place charged with memories, creates moments untouched by time, where a remembered flavour can jolt the heart awake.

Inspired by Maison Martin Margiela's 'Replica' capsule collection, this project reimagines dining as an archive of love and wonder.

The Replica of Food, Drink, and People derives from timelessness. It operates on the belief that certain flavours of food and drink, like enduring love, have already withstood the test of time.

This project recreates each bite and sip from unforgettable meals shared in the context of love and wonder, across different stages and moods of a past relationship. Each dish and drink is a tribute to moments that felt infinite as resonant today as they were then, and as they will remain tomorrow.

The intention of this project is not only to reproduce the taste of food and drink but to mirror the alchemy of ingredients and the choreography of a shared experience at the dining table. More than sustenance, it is a study that explores how love can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary—an edible, drinkable monument to intimacy.
