Project:
Totem
Product Type:
stackable food container
Description:
Totem is a system of stackable food containers designed to double as a centerpiece at the table. The slanted cut of each piece and their shades of grey help define the stacking order, creating a play of veins inspired by the stones of the Reno river - which cuts across the region of origin of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
Themes:
Diversity was one of the inspirations for the design, both in terms of the organic shapes of the bowls, and its use as both a functional and a decorative object. Additionally, we envisioned that the containers would be made from natural organic wheat straw fiber, which is a byproduct of wheat production, - therefore aligned with zero waste principles. Lastly, this durable bioplastic material is 100% BPA free, non-toxic, odorless and biodegradable.
