Piero Lissoni designs gnocchi tool for Molino Pasini's 100th anniversary

Italian architect and designer Piero Lissoni has created a limited-edition gnocchi kit for Molino Pasini, a historic flour company celebrating its 100th anniversary. The kit includes a gnocchi dough mix, a datterini tomato sauce by chef Luca Marchini, and a specially designed gnocchi ridging tool by Lissoni. The packaging was handled by Lissoni Graphx. Lissoni described the project as making him feel like a child again, emphasizing simplicity and ritual. The kit also features a QR code linking to a video tutorial. This collaboration follows Lissoni's previous work for Molino Pasini, including a 2020 Christmas tin for panettone by pastry chef Andrea Tortora, inspired by Milan's architecture. Lissoni, a winner of the Good Design Award, Red Dot Award, and Compasso d'Oro ADI, also designed an origami-like measuring tool for the company's 'cofanetto della felicità' flour box.
