Too Good to Eat!

Sometimes the packaging is better then the product, a theory proven time and again with liquor, perfumes and, now, spaghetti? Alex Creamer, a design student at the University of Central Lancashire in the UK, created this unusual ode to the Big Apple for a school assignment in which students had to come up with creative ways to package difficult everyday items. The pasta sits on a 3D model of the Chrysler Building modeled out of high-density foam hidden in the bottom of the thin box. Creamer managed to incorporate three of my favorite things: pasta, NYC and a keen eye for design.
