Studio.traccia shows food-waste table and crockery at Milan design week
Milan-based architecture and design practice Studio.traccia has designed and curated an installation at Milan design week that comprises a modular table and objects crafted from food waste.
Titled Tabula [non] Rasa, the installation-cum-table setting was developed in collaboration with a collection of designers, researchers and companies in an effort to explore the possibilities of food-waste recycling.

The installation is on display at the BASE Milano exhibition in Zona Tortona as part of the 2021 edition of Milan design week.
"It's a table that is made from organic waste and we wanted to invite every designer and brand involved with food waste research to design objects," Studio.traccia co-founder Luigi Olivieri told Dezeen. The table is comprised of five individual modular tables
The studio explained that around twenty per cent ? roughly 931 million tonnes ? of food produced for human consumption is wasted each year.
"Food [recycling] is one research that is currently not developed yet," said Olivieri.
"A lot of people are recycling other products like plastic, waste from oil, industrial products, steel and concrete, but no one is really exploring [recycling] food."
