User:Lcianci/Eating Design

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eating design is a form of design based upon raising awareness to the 'social and cultural implications of food'- it can also be viewed as design activism[1]. It is not to be mistaken with 'food design', which is concerned with the aesthetic styling, packaging and production of food.
Marije Vogelzang is a prominant eating designer from the Netherlands and she was also the first person to use this term to describe her work. She describes her designs by saying, ‘Food is my material, just like wood is the material of a furniture designer’[2].
