# Bite-Sized Dish Catalogs Sandro Desii’s Food Catalog Models Simple Spoonfuls By Jen Chae | Published 2013-07-10 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-catalog References: [losiento.net](http://www.losiento.net/entry/sd-catalogue) & [sandrodesii](http://www.sandrodesii.com/skin/default.aspx) Colonia-based food company Sandro Desii focuses on keeping its food catalog simply sweet. Instead of photographing whole dishes as many food catalogs would, Sandro Desii’s pasta guide captures only small portions. Pages are filled with intricately stacked spoonfuls, just enough to flaunt bite-sized proportions of [various pasta dishes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasta-night). The beautiful layout was artistically directed by [Barcelona](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/victoria-alberts-barcelona-collection)-based ad photographer Diaz Wichmann. The layout’s style focuses on simplicity and minimalism, while encompassing detailed textures and colors of the food. The different colors and textures of the ingredients also contrast with the sleek silver spoon they are placed on. This food catalog layout is a visual taste test. Each bite-sized image reminds us of samples—only here, you are given the full product description and recipe in text next to each sample. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Bite-sized Food Photography:** Opportunity for food companies to showcase their dishes in a visually appealing and concise way using bite-sized food photography. - **Simplicity in Food Catalogs:** Opportunity to reduce clutter and focus on minimalistic designs in food catalogs to draw a viewer's attention to specific dishes. - **Visual Taste Tests:** Opportunity to provide potential customers with a visual taste test of dishes through bite-sized images accompanied by product descriptions and recipes. ### Where This Applies - **Food:** Food companies could use bite-sized food photography to create more visually appealing and memorable food catalogs that focus on the individual dishes. - **Photography & Design:** Photography and design companies could use Sandro Desii's minimalistic and colorful approach as inspiration for creating visually striking and creative layouts for food catalogs. - **Marketing & Advertising:** Marketing and advertising agencies could take advantage of bite-sized food photography and visual taste tests in creating targeted and visually appealing advertisements for food companies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ice Cream Popsicle Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/devoured-campaign.md) - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Poppable Paella Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paella-bites.md) - [Food-Inspired Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dish-pics.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Absurdly Tiny Culinary Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knorrs-mini-bouillon-bag.md) - [Delicious Cocktail Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocktail-bites.md) - [Solo-Friendly Pasta Meals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ms-food-collection.md) - [Pre-Portioned Food-Centric Holiday Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dorot-gardens1.md)
