What we eat before we go to bed can also affect our sleep patterns, so Italy's best food designers are on board to help spice up and sweeten our dreams. Founded by Francesca Sarti in 2001, Arabeschi di Latte is an inventive collective of Italian women designers with a passion for good times, great food and lush conviviality. Based on the idea of creating a 'daily sense of happiness', Francesca and her team are all about food as an experience, a tool that leads to opportunities and memories - Arabeschi di Latte's Wundertute project, a whimsical gastro game of chance, was one of the stars at this years Salone Del Mobile.
