My Sweets
A London designer gives us occasion to ponder our favorite question this weekend: How can we design less better?
My Sweets are candy bars designed by London-based Tithi Kutchamuch. Specifically, they are candy bars designed to aesthetically deliver you less candy.
From his statement:
Bargain food persuades people by playing with the value of money, which has brought a lot of problems to society: over nutrition, eating disorders, obesity, illness, guilt, wasting food, wasting resources, over production, etc.
Can design make people buy food that offers less?
Something to consider for this weekend: Is selling less candy like this really ethical?
