Re-imaging everyday objects might be one of my favorite pastimes. Luckily, as the Creative Director at Pinch Food Design, I get to exercise this skill often. From trays to displays, we consistently try to outdo ourselves by creating unique and delightful food furniture. Now, many times what we want to achieve does not exist, and we design products from scratch. This is also quite fulfilling ? to see a gap and fill it with invention. Other times, we stumble across an existing item, like a knob, or a bird feeder and say, ?let?s put food on that!? Here are some of our favorite examples of object rebirth:
