A new exhibition of food design opens tomorrow at the
Designhuis in Eindhoven. Curated by
Marije Vogelzang (read our interview with her
here), and organised by
Premsala, Food Culture: Eating by Design explores the link between people, design, food and the origins of what we eat - with topics addressed spanning from global farming systems to the potential of laboratory-grown meat.
By including the work of
Honey & Bunny, a food design duo who consider the history of industrially produced food such as fish fingers, Vogelzang hopes to broaden the visitor's perception of food design. “Although designers design for people, they often overlook the food that keeps us alive," she says. "Designing for food is an area where exciting collaborations are possible between designers, farmers, scientists, politicians and chefs.”
Vogelzang has also included a vegetable orphanage and a
food film festival in the show's programme.
The exhibition runs until 30 September 2012. WGSN-homebuildlife subscribers can see all of our latest food reports
