Trace plate is handcrafted from coloured stoneware. The soft clay perfectly preserves the delicate imprints of nature just as we can find traces of the past on fossils. The wooden imprint is shaped into a plate by hand and the plate is fired without any glaze in a wood-fired kiln. Thanks to the high temperature wood firing, the plate is excellent for professional gastronomic use.

Gastro ceramics
- • Ádám's ceramic pieces are conceptual
- • His work is primarily inspired by traumas and injuries
- • Michelin-starred restaurants use his dishes and trays
Ádám Csaba Szabó's approach to ceramics is often a conceptual one, his intuitive methods giveway to an element of chance, and to themes such as amnesia or the aesthetics of wabi-sabi. His most exciting commission so far was to collaborate with the Michelin-starred restaurant Onyx at the 2018 Gourmet Festival. Instead of disposable plates, the restaurant served its dishes in unfired raw clay pots, which even if they were discarded afterwards, became part of the land again once the rain fell. As this required a lot of dishes, Ádám decided to teach the restaurant's team how to make a pinch pot. In a little over three weeks, the team created 2,000 serving dishes by hand, out of about one ton of clay – thanks to which Ádám's work played a crucial role not only in serving the restaurant’s creations, but also in its branding and as a team building experience.
