Description

Food is everything that is taken in by humans and used to keep them alive. However, we throw away an average of half a kilo of food per day. This means 89 million tons of food are wasted each year in Europe only.

Alimenta is an experimentation project conducted by me, on food waste and biobased material. In this project, I tapped my ability in making and I created an ad-hoc material using food waste I produced daily. We are continuing to make new products by sourcing fresh raw materials while we could create from our waste. We must create what is yet to come with what is already here.

Materials: dehydrated food leftovers, salt, flour, gypsum and bone glue.

The Alimenta vase is decorative and not water-resistant, it can be used for dried flowers.

About Riccardo Cenedella Visit Showroom →

Cenedella's work is inspired by a fascination with materials experimentation, exploring how contemporary society's waste can be transformed into functional objects. He developed this design method while studying MA Material Futures at Central Saint Martins in London. In this period, he started taking a low-tech approach to design, influenced by the theories of the French philosopher Claude Levi-Strauss about the "bricoleur" described in one of his most important works (The Savage Mind, 1962).Riccardo Cenedella lives and works in Turin. He works with both private and public clients. His pieces have been exhibited at Collectible in Bruxelles, SWING Design Gallery in Benevento, EDIT Napoli, the London Design Festival, the Milan Design Week, the Affordable Art Fair London, and the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. In addition to working as an independent designer, he is a university professor at IAAD in Turin (Institute of Applied Art and Design) where he teaches Product Life Cycle Assessment.
