Inspirational food Food design or design food-inspired? The "Inspirational Food" project was born from the desire to bring together in one small collection different creations linked by the same inspirational elements: chocolate and confectionery. The forerunner of the concept is Bon Bon, armchair and footstool designed for AR.T.EX by Daniele Menichini, starting from a simple design, based on the distortion of a cube along the three dimensions to get skewed and slanted faces interconnected by a more or less apparent radius ... distort here and distort beyond, you get a kind of famous 80s chocolate ... and here, because of his sweet tooth, author's design has stopped, leaving it up to the colors that explicitly evoke the chocolate do the rest. The "bitten chocolate" opened the road to "cremino stakes" (benches with sharply geometric and asymmetric lines) and the "pistachio chocolate" (Su&Gi첫, island-sofa with mechanisms that move the backrests up and down). Food design or design food inspired? The boundary is not clear ... Just as a confrmation of that comes the meeting halfway with the art of chocolate of Roberto Catinari, the master of cocoa processing, who shapes it with creativity and originality. The doors to alchemy are opened, perhaps new combinations will overwhelm furniture production, design and confectionery and new disguises will deceive the senses!
