Dessert display + preparation trolley  product design

For a fine dining restaurant in Bangalore, we were commissioned to design a dessert trolley with a specific brief: it had to serve as both a display and a mobile station for plating and preparing desserts in front of guests.

Beyond its compact footprint—essential for navigating the restaurant floor and weaving between tables—the trolley needed to accommodate multiple functions: a dessert display, a preparation and plating surface, containers for condiments, sauces and dressings, as well as storage for crockery and cutlery.
To meet these needs within a tight footprint, we designed a pull-out display that not only showcased the desserts effectively but also introduced a sense of theatre to the dining experience.

The trolley is crafted in a combination of anodised aluminium and stainless steel, with a Corian surface that serves as the working area—balancing durability with a refined finish.
