Within the Wonderbread workshop led by Francesca Sarti, food designer and founder of Arabeschi di Latte, BA Industrial Design students explored history, traditions, rituals, and recipes related to bread, in order to imagine new unique signature bread.
Workshop (2023) with Francesca Sarti
Bread tells our story, the leavening cycle of our life. Bread is certainly not a novelty about humanity, but it is the basic and primary testimony of the relationship that humankind has with the earth and with what he eats (through the agricultural evolution). The first form of bread dates back to prehistoric times, it was a flat cracker made with cattail rhizome. A 2000-year-old loaf of bread, black as lava, was found in Pompeii ruins. White or black, holy or devil, leavened and unleavened, flat or puff, fresh or dry….Each bread is a unique story.
This involves either the way it is prepared, shaped, colored, made from unexpected ingredients, transformed or recycled, filled or combined with other raw materials. During the workshop, original dishes with bread as a central element were developed and finally served and shared at a common meal.
We would like to thank 'Le pain des frouzes' and Jonathan Vallin aka Baolin, Chef Antonio de Luca and the Eldora team.

Newspaper is an industrial design project whose objective is to enable a personal stance on a topic of one’s choice. The project is based on an article taken from a newspaper or a specialized magazine, used as a conceptual and critical starting point. Through the analysis, interpretation, and translation of this written content, the project invites the development of a design reflection, questioning the issues, forms, and uses related to the chosen theme.

Museum Trail is a project that explores Swiss museums in all their diversity. Rather than focusing solely on the large, well-visited institutions, the project explores what the term "museum" means today in a country that is home to over a thousand museums, one of the highest densities in the world.

Mira is an interior lamp that explores modularity through a pulley system that allows for adjusting light intensity. The lampshade, made of veneer, subtly transforms depending on the position of the mechanism, playing on both light and shape. This project reflects a need for flexibility in the domestic space and reflects a personal research on the evolving object, halfway between discreet technicality and poetic expression of the material.
