DESIGN
Raviolo was done by making a continuous looped ribbon with a defined inside and outside texture that serve to make the continuous band more readable, and like stuffed pasta the ribbon appears to be inflated. We did all that with a careful consideration of the easy release from the mould. We also confess that the overall final shape owes a lot to the efforts to achieve this idea using different techniques. So this time the rotational moulding was not just a cheap alternative to other moulding techniques but the one that saved an idea that looked for another technology for a long time.
