Touch That Taste!

Touch That Taste! is a project that attempts to translate eating experience to create an experimental collection of textile objects.

Food was categorized by the five main flavours: umami, sweet, salty, bitter and sour. An extensive research delving into social, historical and physiological aspects of taste was conducted in order to collects features and directions that were then applied in the design phase.

The outcome is five textile objects, each corresponding to one flavour. Combination of different materials and techniques as well as the function of each object, tells a story about the fascinating world of senses and how they interconnect.
