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.
