Kyle Bean, “Forbidden Fruit”, Fruit, Metal, Flame
With a slightly sinister and naughty tone, British designer Kyle Bean materializes “forbidden fruit” as a series of dangerously armed produce, bearing unusual self defense mechanisms. Photographed for latest issue of the “Gourmand” magazine in collaboration with photographer Aaron Tilley, Bean has composed five visualizations of the guarded garden greens. Each snack embodies its own spunky and edgy style, while its protective personality seems to divulge secrets about a “dark side” of fruit. – Design Museum
