Haute-couture grocery

Artist Peddy Mergui explores the world of luxury brands, design and ethics in the exhibition ‘Wheat is Wheat is Wheat’, currently presented at the Museum of Crafts and Design in San Francisco. The collection of crafted boxes, containers and cases, each bearing a familiar trademark of a well-known brand, is a humorous yet provocative commentary on global consumer culture and the importance of packaging.
