In a time when global food resources are becoming increasingly scarce and unstable, algae are gaining attention as an alternative source. Yet, they are still hardly anchored in Western food culture.
This is where my project comes in: How can a forward-looking marine resource like algae be transformed into an everyday dish for Western tastes?
The result is SeaPasta – a series of algae pasta, a matching sauce, and a reusable packaging and label system. The aim is to create a coherent overall experience that feels familiar while introducing new flavors.
The algae pasta stands out through its distinct ocean flavor, its varied colors depending on the algae type, and a design that subtly evokes the sea. A complementary sauce and a baking mix based on algae powder complete the series, making algae an accessible and contemporary part of our diet.
