    sugary Design Criminals book
The exhibition catalogue with slipcase for the past Design Criminals exhibition at the Vienna MAK is entirely edible. Made with sugar pastillage, Andreas Pohancenik (from Practice + Theory) designed a typographically unique book and signage for the exhibit.

“…If pastillage often historically represented architecture and objects,  might this tradition be reversed and allow architecture and design to  learn from its now distant relative? If we think of a cake, in some way  at least, as an architectural object, might we also be able to think of  ways in which architecture and design might be able to possess cake-like  qualities?…” —Andreas Pohancenik on “ornament and crime”
