The Warsaw, Poland-based design firm Studio Rygalik has created an unprecedented and unique table. It's a collection of baguettes, cut to various lengths and set upright. What purpose did this table serve?

The "Baguette Table" was created for Vienna Design Week, an annual design festival held in Vienna, Poland, where works by various designers are displayed throughout the city. It was created for an event called "bread experience." Visitors who came to see the work actually tasted bread on the table. Bread on top of bread...it's quite a strange sight.

The "Baguette Table" actually conveys a message calling attention to the food that is wasted every day. A huge amount of food is wasted in Vienna, equivalent to the amount needed to feed roughly half the population of Graz, Poland.

Given Graz's population of approximately 260,000, you can imagine the sheer volume of waste. The baguettes used in this project were unsellable and destined to be thrown away. The project also wanted to emphasize that the materials are actually found all around us.

Studio Rygalik designs primarily furniture, releasing products that are simple and sophisticated yet show unique attention to detail throughout. They also regularly undertake projects like this "Baguette Table," which can be viewed on their website.
