Crucial Detail Studio flagship in Premum Gastro showroom

15. 5. 2018

Last August, we had the honor to welcome Kastner's brothers, who stand behind Crucial Detail, the company focused on the equipment for the top gastronomy, and cooperated in 2015 and 2017 with the American winning team of the most prestigious Bocuse d'Or culinary competition.

The premium connection was quite clear, so Premium Gastro got the exclusive representation of the Crucial Detail portfolio not only for the whole of Europe but also for Russia. That is of course a great pleasure for us, and we would like to introduce you to this highly inspiring and design-award-winning brand.

Studio for Design Award

The American studio Crucial Detail was founded by Czech native Martin Kastner more than a decade ago and during its existence has become a major player in exclusive design for leading restaurants and best chefs. In addition to being named by The Future Laboratory as one of the world's 100 most influential designers, Kastner and Crucial Detail received a Global Innovation Award for Best Product Design for the Porthole, and Book Design of the Year Award for the Alinea book.

Infusion vessel the Porthole 390ml

A simple, beautiful glass vessel for infusion production, whose name suggests that the goal was to simply make a beautiful and simple product. The inspiration was just the window of Captain Nemo's submarine in the famous novel by Jules Verne. This "window to another world, space and time" originally originated for the Aviary bar. The interesting thing is that other production was funded by the Kickstarter campaign. The interest was enormous and thanks to this, Porthole can now be purchased by anyone who wants to be original.

100plus variations of taste

Today's trend is mainly homemade products, preferably seasonal, local and, above all, original and tasty. The infusion result is an added value that will bring to the food and drink experience a new dimension that you will hard find in a classic bar and restaurant´s offer. Be original! Imagine the possibility of destilling various herbs and spices in the oil or seasonal fruits as the basis for unusual syrup or tea. It is also great for different sauces, broths, cocktails. And what about Dashi? It is a simple and yet very elegant version of the preparation of the base for a richer taste of soups, rice. It is cooking mostly from a different kinds of mushrooms. The idea was born in Japan, but for its popularity and variability it is spread around the world. Would you like to try it yourself? Come on!
