A competition promoted by ADI Associazione per il Disegno Industriale, the Italian Industrial Design Association - Liguria delegation REGULATIONS Art. 1 Aim of the competition ADI Liguria has organised a competition for the design of two objects: the pestle and the mortar, traditional kitchen utensils used in Liguria to make the famous basil sauce. The competition aims to develop exhibitions and promotions, also as part of the Milan EXPO 2015, where the key theme will be Nourish the planet, energy for life, and to search for winners, partners and businesses wishing to produce the items. The objects in question are very ancient and were constructed with ancient materials: marble and wood. In this respect, candidates are asked to reinterpret the design taking due consideration of tradition, but are also free to propose solutions that can adjust to the change in customs and cooking. Therefore, participants may, if they so wish, also use technological solutions, as long as they use food-compatible materials and/or inventions that are suitably economic for use. Models and/or prototypes that may physically depict the products are also welcome. NB Proposals presented must consider the organoleptic values that make this famous green sauce what it is. The various proposals submitted must consider the specific characteristics of flavour, colour and aroma that must remain unaltered, imagining the production of the sauce using the project proposed.
