![]() WWD: What have you been doing in the last year to establish Al Dente as an authority on the metaverse? Miceli spoke to WWD about how luxury brands can navigate the metaverse jungle, how the new technology will impact e-commerce and how digital identities will evolve in a post-physical world. Access will initially be through referrals to enable creative and prolific interactions between these worlds,” Miceli said.Īccording to a new report by Morgan Stanley, social gaming could add up to $20 billion to the luxury sector’s total addressable market, while NFTs in the form of luxury collectibles could become a $25 billion business in Morgan Stanley’s “blue-sky analysis.” “‘The New Face’ aims to create the first meta-luxury community made up of executives and designers from the worlds of fashion, luxury and Web3. It does not store any personal data.A Snowy Owl NFT from Al Dente’s “The Serious Game.” Courtesy of KeringĪl Dente aims to further rally the luxury community around the metaverse with its own line of NFTs, developed with Dazed fashion director Imruh Asha, launching next fall.

Our first Al Dente Wall, Cheese, Please! inspired by mac ‘n cheese has been installed at the Pop Ups by Devika Kitchen Studio in Mumbai. This multisensory element lacks in the modern-day materials we use for building spaces. Spectators feel the urge to touch, sniff and interact with the wall. We use boxed pasta which is past its expiration date, and therefore would otherwise be thrown away. The use of an edible material such as pasta in architecture (due to its long life and durability) encourages conversation. We explored these patterns and created signature Al Dente Wall panels. Put together, the different types of pasta create mesmerizing, hypnotic patterns. There have been design competitions, literature and talks about the various kinds of pasta. Design with Pastaįor over a decade now, several designers have been analyzing pasta, its form and structure. It was not only interactive but also photogenic. We upcycled 28,800 pieces of macaroni past its sell by date to create the world’s first and only ‘Al Dente Wall’. This contributes to the pressing issue of global food waste. However, it is often prepared in excessive portions that end up not being consumed. We can preserve pasta easily and manage it in domestic contexts. ![]() Cooked pasta, on the other hand, is the most wasted product among cooked food. The least wasted product in domestic contexts is dry pasta. In 2013, LMM conducted a study on domestic waste in Italian households. Food waste represents one of the most significant social, economic, and environmental issues facing our planet. But, we build architecture for long-term survival. ![]() We prepare food for immediate consumption. A fundamental difference between food and architecture is their lifespans.
