DESIGNING FOOD & OBJECTS
this product design project was carried out in collaboration witha Milanese restaurant, 28 Posti. the challenge was to defend a political philosophy through a non-functional but authentic object, to be displayed in the restaurant during the Salone del Mobile week 2021. after a rigorous selection process, the object was one of those chosen to be displayed.
the group began with in-depth research into the restaurant's history and values, as without this it would not have been possible to define - and then explore - the concept. therefore, the team began to sketch out the first ideas and after sharing and combining them it was possible to develop the final object.
MY ROLE: conducting a second research focusing on the aspects that the restaurant values most, such as sustainability and the selection of local ingredients. therefore, I was tasked with experimenting with different shapes and sizes of the object.
it was carried out by a team of students during the master studies in Food Design and Innovation, at Scuola Politecnica di Design. Milan, Italy. 2020.

CONCEPT | TRANSPARENCY
our concept was built keeping in mind the big importance of the communication throughout the dishes. transparency means the origin of the products, the careful selection of ingredients, objects, materials and textures that make up the 28 Posti setting and, consequently, its identity.
THE OBJECT | 10%
1/3 of the world’s population does not have access to clean water, and agriculture is one of the largest consumers of water. the blue ball, which represents 10% of the glass sphere, indicates the amount of water saved. 28 Posti is saving water by adopting the Mediterranean diet in its menu, which is 10% more sustainable than the regular diet.
