Food and Design: films by Dezeen for Scholtès

Here are ten short movies about food and design and featuring designers including Kiki van Eijk, Philippe Starck and Gitta Gschwendtner plus chef Alexandre Gauthier and others that we filmed in Milan during the furniture fair in April this year, as part of our Food and Design report for luxury kitchen appliances brand Scholtès.

The films are part of our investigation into the cross-pollination between the worlds of food and design. See the Food and Design report.
