The world’s largest furniture fair, Salon del Mobile 2012, is about to commence, and designers Ryosuke Fukusada and Rui Pereira wondered: “Do we still have an appetite for all this furniture?”

Reflecting on the velocity of the contemporary furniture industry and on the impossibility to digest the large number of new products that are launched every year, they created their project ‘Sapore dei Mobili’.

With this project, they propose an alternative way of experiencing furniture – a furniture pan. “An object that mixes both traditional Japanese small cakes ‘baby castella’ with a Portuguese egg based pastry called ‘ovos moles’.” With the pan, the consumer can create their own edible living room and paint the furniture cakes with their favourite toppings.

Sapore dei Mobili will be on display at VenturaRunaway 2012, Massimiano 6 in Milan.
