Start an unconventional conservation this Valentine’s Day.

This Valentine’s Day don’t just give your loved one any box of chocolates, give them a box of Irregular Chocolates, with a potentially life-saving message.
Bowel Cancer Australia in collaboration with Artist, Chef, and Food Designer, Ryan L Foote, today launched a limited-edition range of Irregular Chocolates that have been designed to prompt an unconventional conversation between loved ones and raise awareness of early-onset bowel cancer, as each chocolate is an abstract of a symptom.

Bowel cancer is the deadliest cancer for people aged 25-44.

Ryan L Foote is well known for re-imagining chocolate that is both visually engaging and reflective of contemporary design. With unexpected flavours and innovative recipes, he has applied his unique talent on this important awareness campaign.

Each unique 3D-designed and printed chocolate has been meticulously crafted, creating a premium and indulgent experience with an exquisite flavour profile.

To get your hands on a box of FREE Irregular Chocolates for your Valentine, be quick! There is a limited-edition range available for pick up (Melbourne only, 1 box per couple) from R L Foote Design Studio, 1 Parslow Street Clifton Hill, Sunday 11 to Wednesday 14 February, between 9am to 5pm, while

stocks last.

We are excited to announce a range of drinkware custom made for Darkside, sophisticated and sultry jazz cocktail bar which is part of Rosewood Hotel Group, and has proudly made it into the Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2021 list.

“The Moon Menu” is inspired by the eight phases of the Moon and their mystical powers. R L Foote Design Studio played with Lunar and Cosmic forms and textures to created rock-textured vessels that embody various phases of the moon.

Each vessel brings out and amplifies the aromas and flavors of the cocktails the talented Darkside mixologists developed.

We worked with this Japanese food and sake joint’s extraordinary chef Lok Yan Li, and came up with a series of custom ceramic plates, inspired by Edo period (17-19th century), which was marked by the development of precise slip cast ceramic forms.

This bespoke range of plates features several crystalline glazes that complement one another. Within the same glaze, each plate is completely unique due to the character of the glaze, employing on elements of Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetics.

R L Foote Design Studio was lucky to create playful drink elements for NGV & Dan Murphy’s NGV Triennial Extra Discovery Bar, designed and made by Ryan L Foote. We produced porcelain garnish holders and food grade moulds for ice drink coasters to put on top of the drinks.

Sofitel on Collins in Melbourne has commissioned R L Foote Design Studio to create 24 porcelain platters for a part of VIP room turndown service during the Australian Open 2018. The platters reflected the French heritage of the hotel, and took inspiration in architectural structures of the hotel itself and Louvre with its glass pyramid, both designed by the iconic architect I.M. Pei. 

Each platter had been coated with this crystalline glaze, where crystals start to grow into unique brilliant patterns inside the molten glaze during the firing process, from thousands and thousands of tiny crystals giving a satin finish, or glossy look with fewer large crystals.

The results were striking, with no two platters looking exactly the same.  

Ryan L Foote was commissioned by the National Gallery of Victoria Design Store to create a range of ceramics inspired by the Van Gogh and the Seasons exhibition. Foote has taken inspiration from Van Gogh's paintings to develop a range of porcelain vases, plates and large fruit bowls which were exclusively available at the NGV Design Store. 

This year Melbourne Food and Wine Festival have asked R L Foote Design Studio to come up with a range of 7 plates to complement 7 celebrity chefs' recipes that will be served at their 2017 festival hub bar.

Each plate complements the recipe to create a very special dining experience.
