Summer Menu Challenge 2025
15 Chefs. 15 Cities. One Global Stage.
An editorial archive of summer menus, chef stories and culinary identities from around the world.
The Collection
Where seasonal creativity meets culinary identity.
The Summer Menu Challenge 2025 invited a curated selection of chefs to express summer through menus shaped by memory, geography, craft and technique. This archive keeps those stories together as a reference point for the season.
The Challenge
A summer menu as a personal signature.
Each chef was invited to create a seasonal interpretation that could speak beyond the plate: a menu connected to the restaurant, the city, the landscape and the chef’s own culinary language.
From Bangkok to Oslo, Tokyo, Lisbon, Lima, Shanghai and Athens, the 2025 edition became a map of summer seen through different kitchens.
The Archive
Menus, stories and films gathered in one place.
The page now begins with the chefs and restaurants, then moves into the menu videos, so the reader follows an editorial journey from people and places to dishes in motion.
The Inspired by Design chapter appears at the bottom, where the creative collaborators and design partners can be presented with their own space.
Summer was not treated as a theme. It became a table, a place, a memory and a point of view.

The design chapter now sits where it belongs: at the bottom of the archive, after the chefs and their menu films.
Here, ceramics, porcelain, glass and crafted objects become part of the conversation — not above the chefs, but in dialogue with them.
Designer Messages
The creative collaborators.
Messages from the designers and studios whose work extended the challenge into a wider conversation around presentation, material and craft.
