The project was made in collaboration with Stratasys and Asif Culinary Center for Jerusalem Design Week.
Lab grown food can look and feel like anything - but what will that "anything" be?
As novel proteins become increasingly common, we are rapidly approaching a time when most of our food no longer comes from fields, chicken coops or dairy barns.
Today when food tech companies (which many of them are founded in Israel), approach the task of designing their food products, they usually try to imitate well - known foods.
However, lab-grown proteins hold endless possibilities in terms of their form, aesthetic and sensory experience they can offer. They can be just about anything. The main barrier to accessible novel food is consumer acceptance, the combination of unfamiliar food and form.

However, lab-grown proteins hold endless possibilities in terms of their form, aesthetic and sensory experience they can offer. They can be just about anything. The main barrier to accessible novel food is consumer acceptance, the combination of unfamiliar food and form.
For this project, ten young designers joined together to redesign four novel proteins: egg, cheese, meat, and fish. We are here to ask you: What would you be willing to eat, and what doesn’t look like food to you anymore?
The project is in collaboration with four Israeli food tech companies: Aleph Farms, Yo!egg, Wilk, and Sea2Cell.
The models and the exhibition were designed by Naama Nicotra, Ram Shalom, Maya Margolin, Noam Sol, Or Ben-Dov, Shaked Schwartzberg, Noa Zeevi, Ofri Shapira, Inbal Abramson, and myself.
