The annual furniture fair at Milan had a very interesting display by Milan-based designers Ryosuke Fukusada and Rui Pereira. The Sapore dei Mobili (Taste of Furniture) is a waffle pan that turns out tiny edible furniture, as a "reflection about the velocity of the contemporary furniture industry and how the consumers are unable to digest the huge amount of new products launched every year." Because how better to make design digestible than to make design that can be literally digested?
Apart from miniature lamps and tables, the furniture pan also molds edible chairs, vases and credenzas, from a mix of traditional Japanese small cakes, baby castella and a Portuguese egg pastry called ovos moles, a culinary mirror of the designers' respective nationalities. But Fukusada and Pereira encourage experimentation: topping the tiny furniture set with jam, sprinkles and powdered sugar. Simply put, it is design in good taste.!
