In this week's comments update, readers are discussing the stone grocery items designed by creative studio AMO, which originally went on display as part of an exhibition in Milan.

The objects, which include a travertine milk carton and an onyx banana, are now available via Dutch stone supplier SolidNature in response to demand from visitors to its Il Sonno Supermarket installation that was held during Milan design week.

"Yummy if you get the right teeth"

The general consensus among readers was positive, with some taking the chance to be as playful as the objects themselves.

"Quite the marbling on that steak," wrote Spirit of Place, impressed.

Pa Varreon agreed, writing, "Yummy if you get the right teeth", though adding, "What's the point of that mineral grocery / convenience store?"

Andreasman, meanwhile, "Loved this project!"

Not all commenters were quite so smitten, however.

"From a sustainability point of view, that is an utter waste of natural stone," said Yow C disapprovingly.

"Both modernist architecture and sports cars should get a global ban"

Another story that basked in the spotlight this week was the launch of the Ferrari Luce, Ferrari's first electric car, designed by Jony Ive and Marc Newsom's studio LoveFrom.

Readers were split, questioning if the sleek look aligned with the brand's traditional aesthetic.

"Although the design has grown on me, the technical specs are not for me," said Olivier Vh. "Why prioritise speed if it compromises elegance?"

Nitro912gr agreed, saying "I will never have the money to own a Ferrari, but Ferrari was something to dream of... Luce is not that."

"It feels like an iPhone or some other well-designed appliance," wrote Brett S. "Where is the excitement, the feeling, the soul?"

Wring was also pessimistic, saying, "Both modernist architecture and sports cars should get a global ban."

Though the car had a number of detractors, readers also championed the design.

"This is how you do a driver's cockpit," wrote Bunker Mentality. "Nice!"

Young was similarly supportive, "Good to see it, love to get it."

Backhandedly, Michael Wigle said, "If this wasn't a Ferrari, this might be seen as a beautiful design for an electric car."

"Do you wash the curved windows by hand?"

Commenters were also engaging with the ribbed glass facades wrapping the Jia Art Gallery in Shanghai, designed by British studio Foster + Partners' to resemble a cluster of petals.

"Genuinely interesting form and materials," wrote A Bruce. "But it feels unusually heavy, though."

Pa Varreon offered a similar take. "The awnings' proportions are quite interesting: these architectonic elements look like they are borne from cholesterol."

"To its credit, this building design does have great style with specific architectural provenance," wrote Jb.

But, while some readers found the design appealing, others weren't as impressed.

"Kinda wild," said Design Junkie. "Do you wash the curved windows by hand?"

"Foster + Partner's recent work is really off," wrote Heywood Floyd. "Like an old guy trying to convince the young people that he's cool."

Milton Welch agreed, saying, "We are reaching a peak of architectural insanity… from the world-renowned studios."
