Chairs and Tables of Bread!!




Spanish industrial designer Enoc Armengol has designed and prototyped "Panpaati," which is a set of edible furniture comprising of two chairs and a side table.

The skinny forms are sculpted from dough and baked into bread. It doesn't appear that the furniture is capable of holding any real weight.

If its real food and edible how can it possibly be furniture and be able to hold real weight?

Enoc Armengol's description says:

"Panpaati. Every piece forms a living, organic, natural structure, which suffers the alterations on having interacted with the environment, humans, animals...This is food! It creates a vital cycle, which it's born, lives, and dies without leaving rest.
100% alive matter. 100% biodegradable.

The work is formed by a set of common furniture, composed by two chairs and one table, these turn automatically into the core of a synergy of shared actions, both internal and external, that modify the initial form constantly.

Somehow this installation can be a clear reflect from the actual society and production process. Fast, and the short-time life of the current, almost ephemeral furniture. Nevertheless, these pieces can also be eaten becoming part of the living process."

CORE 77 Reference!
