Skilled chefs have long found alternative uses for objects in order to enhance their cooking techniques. Recent exhibition Altered Appliances investigated the retooling of industrial low-tech appliances and gadgets to offer alternative design solutions for the kitchen. Part of the master’s program at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam, the exhibition included Rollware by Joanne Choueiri, Giulia Cosenza and Povilas Raskevicius – a set of laser-cut rolling pins designed to produce bread-based edible dishware, adorned with customised patterns.
