To get lost during a design process is a beautiful luxury – it means you can follow your intuition and curiosity without aiming for a clear result. For this project we looked back at our design “memorabilia”: ideas, pictures and techniques we left behind.

 

“Baked” is inspired by a Sicilian folk event in Salemi, where a flour based material is used to create architectural decorations.

 

The project is a homage to bread and flour – primordial and essentials materials that accompany our daily life – and to the

craftsmanship of baking and cooking.

 

The result is a collection of containers and vessels made from a material based on ingredients found in the kitchen such as

 

 

 

flour, coffee, cocoa and spinach, mixed together with other natural products  such as salt, shellac and spices to make the objects durable.

 

The vessels are refined with elastic belts that allows the user to arrange bakery products as a new form of decor.

 

“Baked” is a work in progress, slowly refined and modified through time and experienced hands like a good recipe.
