Food & Design
Do you have a favorite item in your kitchen? maybe a fork or a mug.
why do you you prefer it? It is because it sits, fits and, just, feels better?
Well, design is to be thanked for that. ​
​
Food and design are deeply intertwined, way more that you might think.
This week we explore their intersectionality through history,
current designers and sweet treats.

In the Bauhaus Kitchen:
Exploring the relationship between the groundbreaking architectural school and Food culture
Based on Nicholas Fox Weber's essay, that holds the same name, the project, created by food designer Elsa Yranzo and industrial designer Sebastian Alberdi, celebrated Bauhaus' centenary. It analyzed the daily life relationship between food culture and design, which, according to Weber, The Bauhaus considered them to be very close: "cooking was seen as similar to painting - the taking of raw ingredients and the application of correct technique, achieved through well-designed tools, to achieve palatable results."
​
In the Bauhaus Kitchen is a sensory experience and visual feast that took 60 creative minds and was hosted for only one night.
