Meri Von Renteln - Nonjetable - designer 

How was your cut when you were a Baby? How is your bed? I had very little hair gring the first years and later on I have always short hair for summers. My first bed was a crib. It was light yellow with movable coloured wooden balls that you could move up and down on the wooden bars. On the bed head there was a sticker I remember precisely with a smiling child that showed 4 steps how to wash your teeth. Now I have a 90x200 bed a simple mattress with springs.

Which is your favorite dish your mum use to cook for you? What meal don’t you like at all? Hard question, because my mum don’t cook much and if she does it is not my favorite dish. My favorite dish is a fish soup. I don’t really like any meat dishes, I think meat look quite suspect.

What is your favorite book? The books with the Moomin , read in the evening with Tove Jansson’s rich black and white drawings.

Do you have an imaginary friend? No I only have real friends, especially my bestfriend who I imagine to be my sister or at least my cousin. Or I imagine that my dog plush animal is a real dog.

Waiting for the entrée

“Waiting for the entrée” by Emanuele Magini describes the moment when both adults and child play with whatever they find on the table, like bread and tools, in order to wait for the meal to be served. It consists in a soup plate that hosts a small labyrinth in the middle of the central surface that can be used to play with small breadcrumb balls or green peas. An empty time transformed in an entertaining and recreational time.
