Ciao 👋

The Genesis: Calorie Cult is the brainchild of Maximilian Kleinau, a visionary researcher delving into the intricate interplay of food, design, and culture. Born as a Master Thesis project, this platform unravels the layers of our relationship with food in the digital age. As we explore the profound impact of design on culinary experiences, we invite you to join the journey. The Threads We Weave: Our exploration takes us through the rich tapestry of academic studies, historical narratives, and cutting-edge design principles. From the psychology of nutrition to the architectural brilliance shaping dining spaces, we leave no stone unturned. Our journey extends into the digital realm, investigating how technology shapes our dietary habits and the very essence of communal dining. Discover Our Chronicles: Dive into a curated collection of books, videos, and projects that have left an indelible mark on our gastronomic expedition. From ancient pottery revelations to modern gastronomic revolutions, each piece has been chosen for its unique contribution to the narrative we're unfolding. Engage and Collaborate: Calorie Cult is not just a repository; it's a dynamic space for dialogue. In the near future, the Cult will open its doors, allowing enthusiasts to contribute their own works. Whether it's a groundbreaking project, a unique perspective, or a culinary revelation, your input is valued. Feel free to reach out to us at kleinau.work@gmail.com
Share your insights and be part of a collective exploration of the culinary world. Our Vision for Tomorrow: In a world hurtling toward increased digitization, we assert the importance of offline, communal dining. The shared table, the exchanged glances, the laughter that reverberates—all essential elements of the human experience that no algorithm can replicate. As we navigate the digital age, our vision is rooted in preserving and enhancing these timeless rituals. Join us at Calorie Cult, where the art of dining meets the science of design, and every calorie carries a cultural story. Together, let's explore the vast landscape where food and design intertwine, creating a narrative that goes beyond the plate.
