Edible tableware by Rice-Design

March 26th, 2008

Japanese designer Nobuhiko Arikawa of Rice-Design has created edible tableware for Orto Cafe in Japan.

The plates, bowls and chopsticks are intended to replace disposable paper tableware.

The pieces are made from hardtack, a biscuit dough made from flour, water and salt which was traditionally used as dry emergency rations at sea.

The biscuits will last for months as long as they are kept dry.

The pieces have been put into production by Koratt bakery and cafe, and will be exhibited at Designing10 in Fukuoka, Japan, from 25th to 29th April.

RICE-DESIGN Says:

Thank you for comment.

It is the tableware which becomes substitution of paper tableware.
It can produce it without using earth resources idly, and the use back does not drain garbage.

Ben Says:

That’s very clever!

I can think of a number of ways these could be reused, recycled, reprocessed or sustainably disposed of:

1. compost
2. wipe clean and bake at 300°F for a few minutes to sterilize and restore dryness, then reuse (only within a household, obviously)
3. soak, slice, and use as a kind of noodle
4. grind up in food processor and use as breadcrumbs
