Join MODA for Al Dente: The Design of Pasta, an exhibition that explores one of Italy’s most beloved culinary treasures.

Visitors to this exhibition will be invited to explore:

  • the design of traditional pasta shapes.

  • how mechanical and technical advancements have impacted the design of pasta.

  • the design of pasta advertising from the late 19th century to the present.

  • designer pasta, including shapes designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro and Philippe Starck

  • the process through which Dan Pashman of Sporkful designed a brand new pasta shape, Cascatelli, released in 2021 after three years of research and development.

  • The future of pasta: Barilla is 3D printing pasta in new shapes to meet contemporary needs, while researchers are working on shape-shifting pasta meant to make packaging more efficient!
