Film: Fantastic food designer Marije Vogelzang at What Design Can Do

Date
9 July 2013

In the second of our video interviews from this year’s What Design Can Do conference in Amsterdam, we spoke to incredible food designer Marije Vogelzang. She has carved out a real niche creating not only weird and wonderful foodstuffs but also amazing dining experiences. After her talk (which you can see below) she hosted a Ponti party at the venue, whereby she barbecued and handed out her delicious synthetic meat substitute which she not only invented, but for which she has also created a whole backstory and mythology about the imaginary beast from which the delicious treats came.

You can see the interview we recorded with Twitter design lead Mike Kruzeniski here.
