Marianne Ratier: meals as pattern

English Breakfast by Marianne Ratier


Paris-based illustrator Marianne Ratier created these detailed repeats of everyday items such as breakfast foods, nuts and seeds, bottles of branded water and kitchen knives, for Paris restaurant Barbershop.

The collection of ten prints was inspired by items on the restaurant's menu, such as Caesar Salad, English Breakfast, and Tartare au Couteau.

Hidden within many of the intricately detailed drawings is an unexpected addition, from a rogue raccoon to a fish skeleton picked clean.

The prints were exhibited at the restaurant late last year.
