Studio Formafantasma Baked
When I retire the first thing I am going to buy is a pottery wheel and kiln.
“Baked” is the result of a commision for an exhibition presented during Dutch Design Week, on the theme “Getting Lost”.
“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.
If you want the ingredients to make your own at home it is 70% flour, 20% shredded dried agricultural waste (like grain stalks and leaves) and 10% natural limestone.
Designers’ Statement:
“’Autarky’ pays homage to the uncomplicated, the simple and the everyday. The collection suggests an alternative way of producing goods where inherited knowledge is used to find sustainable and uncomplicated solutions.”
