-Mono material design concepts based on food source to design edible tableware for the table landscape including edible photovoltaics are explored. Together with textile designer Carole Collet and the students of the Future textiles Deptmnt of  Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. +Edible Crafts is a speculative design experiment exploring how the combination of food, craft and science can lead to resilient models for design. ECR looks at fully consumable, closed-loop design using edible and compostable materials sourced from local ecosystems.The experiment focuses on the table setting in the domestic space. Informed by culinary traditions, rituals of eating and the landscape, ECR designs a complete dining experience using a limited number of shared ingredients. In Table Vivant monomaterial design concepts based on food source are explored to design edible tableware for table landscape that includes food, textilesand edible solar cells (Temporary photoElectric Digestopians), all produced with locally sourced ingredientsThe table landscape serves as medium to communicate principles of resilience and interdependency
-Resilients is project by FoAM Brussels in collaboration with Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London. +

-As part of “The Resilients” project team, I will coordinate the “The Edible Craft” case study in collaboration with FoAm, Bart Vandeput and the MA Textile Futures Course at CSM. The design team will explore the table landscape as medium to communicate principles of resilience and interdependencyThe design components will include foodtextiles, tableware & dye sensitized solar cells, all produced with locally sourced ingredients.

-The project has 2 complementary goals: 
-- to explore how food generates both calorifc (Joules) & electrical energy (Watts) & how this parallel can be taken into account when evaluating ecosystems. 
-- to learn from traditional crafts, biology, biomimicry & food science to design environmentally resilient cultural experiences. 
  
-The starting point are plants with properties suitable for making foodtextiles & solar cells (e.g berries). Local ethno-culinary traditionsbiological & ecological context of the chosen plant is studied and a scenario for an ‘edible’ dining environment is designedThe experiment should be transferrable to different localities in EuropeThe project starts in June 2011 and will last for 2 years.+  * [[Edible Alchemy]], an overview of the project

-Packaging the edible craft:  +
-"Packaging materials that are 100% renewable, and primarily made from agricultural byproducts and mycelium, a fungal network of threadlike cells. It’s like the “roots” of mushrooms. In 5 – 7 days, in the dark, with no watering, and no petrochemical inputs, the mycelium digests the agricultural byproducts, binding them into a beautiful structural material. The mycelium acts like a natural, self assembling glue. These low-embodied energy materials can be home composted when they’re no longer needed. This technology is a radical departure from traditional bioplastics. While feedstocks for bioplastics are typically food crops, we’re able to upcycle very low value waste products."http://www.ecovativedesign.com+
