Sink Into A 3D-Printed Noodle Nest By Studio Yellowdot

Spaghetti is best served al dente—and so, we’d argue, is furniture. Hong Kong– and Istanbul-based Studio Yellowdot reimagined Italy’s most beloved food for “Edible Reveries,” a multi-sensory installation during Milan Design Week for Artisia, an experimental brand by pasta manufacturer Barilla.
