This cluster of furniture innovations for foodies provides some great insight into our social relationship with food and how it feeds more than our bodies. The importance food plays in our daily lives has begun to influence everything around us, whether consciously, like lamps made from Chinese take-out containers, or unintentionally, like chairs and sofas that end up looking like potato chips or croissants.
From edible furniture to hamburger beds, I hope these furniture innovations for foodies satisfies your appetite.
