Sapore dei Mobili

J’ai fait un tour au salon du meuble de Milan il y a quelques jours, et voici un projet culinaire du designer japonais Ryosuke Fukusada et du portugais Rui Pereira : Sapore dei Mobili, un moule à gaufre pour fabriquer ses meubles comestibles (ou ceux de sa souris domestique?). Les designers sont partis de la constatation amusante de l’indigestion de meubles et de design que l’on peut avoir chaque année en visitant ce salon… Ils proposent une nouvelle manière d’expérimenter le mobilier!

I went to the Salone del Mobile in Milan a few days ago and saw this funny food project by Japanese designer Ryosuke Fukusada and Portuguese designer Rui Pereira : Sapore dei Mobili is a cake mold to create your own edible furniture. This project was born with the designers’reflection on the velocity of the contemporary furniture industry and how the consumers are unable to digest the huge amount of new products shown at the fair.

Sweet or unsweet?

Osamu Watanabe, un jeune artiste japonais qui semble tout droit sorti d’un manga ou d’un groupe de pop japonais, vient de faire publier un livre avec ses oeuvres, faites entièrement en fausses sucreries. Kawaii! かわいい !
Merci à Cécile pour la découverte.
