This delectable-looking volume with its vanilla and chocolate wafer-inspired covers is Eat Me: Appetite for Design, by Hong Kong-based publisher viction:ary.

The book is a collection of playful and imaginative design projects from around the globe that celebrate food and the experiential aspect of its consumption.

“Eating is no longer a pure experience of smell and taste but rather an effective agency to communicate and engage, an indication of cultural values, lifestyle, artisanship, criticism, aspirations and imagination this present day.” – viction:ary ¹

Eat Me showcases innovations in packaging and identity as well as food-inspired art, products, exhibitions and spatial design. It also features in-depth interviews and case studies with established artists and designers who provide insights into their methodologies as well as commentary on our increasingly connected global food culture.
