From Food to Form
DESIGNwith, situated inside North America’s busiest shopping centre alongside a bustling food court, presents an exhibition exploring our relationship with single-use food containers and the culture of eating on-the-go. Using biomaterials as both a starting point and an end point, the exhibition invites the public to consider how everyday food waste can become a resource for new forms of making.
Through a hands-on demonstration, workshop, and exhibition, visitors will experience how additive manufacturing (3D printing) can offer an accessible way to transform food waste from the kitchen into beautiful, functional, and biodegradable vessels. By connecting food, material, technology, and making, DESIGNwith asks: What if the containers we use to carry our food could be made from the food we eat? The project explores a more circular approach to everyday consumption, one that invites people not only to rethink waste, but to actively participate in making alternatives.
