We’re excited to join Parmigiano Reggiano, along with Kartell and Alessi for the 2022 Parmigiano Reggiano Design Challenge.

You’re invited as a professional designer or design student to submit concepts for products that can transform the process of cooking and consuming food into delightful, surprising and enriching experiences.

With the competition all about the magic that happens at the intersection of design and food, there are two talented chefs who will create dishes to serve as inspiration for the entries. The challenge runs until Friday, May 6th, 2022 and it’s absolutely free to enter!

Inspiration

This year’s competition includes inspiration in the form of dishes prepared by renowned Chef Michel Nischan, the recipient of four James Beard Awards, and by Chef Michele Casadei Massari, the US Brand Ambassador for Parmigiano Reggiano and Executive Chef at his popular restaurant, Lucciola, in New York.

PARMENIDE GRATER
by Alejandro Ruiz for Alessi

Both a cheese grater and a cheese cellar, this delightful product is incredibly handy when you want to serve cheese at the table and its innovative combination of two separate functions has helped earn it a place at the New York Museum of Modern Art.
