Design Sucks is an experimental project integrated in Experimental Design 2013 Biennale with the theme “No Borders.”. It is the result of a partnership between Fluor Studio and Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo do Estoril, where designers and chefs challenged the creativity when designing a new food product based on a similar creative methodology.
5 types of lollipop were developed with 5 different flavors, 5 different colors, corresponding to the 5 basic tastes: bitter, sour, salty, sweet and umami. This project contemplates two distinct stages, the first, which corresponds to the exhibition and performative effect, and a more complex subsequent stage corresponding to their marketing. The lollipops were designed to awaken the senses, tests were made to its resistance, sound (when when they in the mouth) and smell, and above all to its physiological taste that is the central focus of this project.
