# Realistic Food Art The 'Sandwich Book' by Pawel Piotrowski is Seriously Hunger-Inducing By Jennifer Gosnell | Published 2013-06-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandwich-book References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2013/06/deli-sandwich-book.html) & [piotrowskipawelart.pl](http://piotrowskipawelart.pl/work/sandwich-book/) The '[Sandwich Book](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-eats-sandwich-studio)' by Pawel Piotrowski takes on the exact resemblance of an actual sandwich. This hunger-inducing piece of art is an interesting concept for portraying realism through food by the use of an everyday-looking lunch sandwich. "The front and back covers look like pieces of bread and the pages inside resemble typical sandwich fillings like cheese, lettuce, eggs, tomatoes, and onions. Some of the ‘fillings’ are [pop-up with uneven edges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moma-mart) that spill over the ‘bread’ like they would in a real sandwich," Leah Gonzalez of PSFK describes. This interactive piece of art may not be able to be displayed prominently on your wall, but the Sandwich Book is an interesting idea book to flip through for a sense of what you want for lunch. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 76% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Realistic Food Art:** The 'Sandwich Book' by Pawel Piotrowski demonstrates the trend of creating hyper-realistic food art. - **Interactive Art:** The pop-up 'fillings' in the Sandwich Book show the trend of incorporating interactive elements in art. - **Everyday Objects as Art:** The use of an everyday lunch sandwich as the inspiration for the Sandwich Book reflects the trend of transforming ordinary objects into works of art. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The Sandwich Book showcases opportunities for artists and designers to push the boundaries of traditional art forms. - **Publishing:** The success of the Sandwich Book demonstrates a potential market for unique and creative book designs. - **Food and Beverage:** The hyper-realistic food art trend seen in the Sandwich Book can inspire chefs and food brands to create visually stunning and enticing dishes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Artistic Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amusebouche.md) - [Self-Referential Sandwich Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandwich-maker-concept.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Grilled Cheese Swatch Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borden-grilled-cheese-swatch-book.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired 70s Decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schlotzskys-sandwich-studio-line.md) - [Sandwich-Inspired Sofa Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burger-sofa.md) - [Miniature Sub Sandwiches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worls-smallest-sub.md) - [Luxe Lunchtime-Inspired Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-sandwich-bag.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md)
