Apple]house included in the Adi Design Index 2024

A prestigious recognition for innovative design
The Appl[e]ause project, developed by Cristian Campagnaro, Raffaele Passaro, Isabella de Vecchi, Nicolò Buselli and Giuseppe Maroncelli, has been selected for the ADI Design Index 2024, a competition organized by ADI Association for Industrial Design.
This work is the result of a collaboration between the PolitoFoodDesignLab of the DAD - Department of Architecture and Design of the Polytechnic University of Turin and PanaceaSocialFarm.
The research aims to enhance the secondary by-products of the Piedmontese fruit agro-industry, specifically identifying apple pomace as a source of dietary fiber and nutrients. Through a codesign approach, the project experiments with the creation of new food products at increasingly advanced levels of technological maturity, highlighting their aesthetic, organoleptic and nutritional aspects to propose new uses for this production waste in the formulation of 7 new baked goods: breadsticks, biscuits, pretzels, chips, pandolce, focaccia and muffins.
