London interior designers and stylists Studio Toogood invited food and design collective Arabeschi di Latte to serve black food to guests at midnight dinners in a darkened apartment in Milan (at Salone) last month.

Waitresses at the Underkitchen dinners wore perspex headpieces designed by Faye Toogood with milliner Zara Gorman and food included cheese served on coal, burned artichokes, bread dyed with squid ink and eggs cooked in black tea.

Called Natura Morta (dead nature), the installation at Erastudio Apartment Gallery presented Toogood’s second furniture collection, Assemblage 2.
