The Meat Crew and Coffee Design project is a reflection on the frenzy of Milan There's also room for fast food within the context of Design Week

FastFastFastFood, the project by Meat Crew and Caffè Design, will come to life with two events, on April 17th and 18th, respectively at the two Meat Crew stores. In both locations, which have no tables, you will eat standing thanks to a design object created for the occasion – the Fast Fasten Food - which will allow you to keep moving even while eating. Fast Fasten Food aims to reflect on the frenzy of Milanese life and was conceived by designers Giuliano Guarini, Ferdinando "Nanni" Esposito, Riccardo "Breccia" Cambò, and Raffaele "Mich" Micillo, founders of Caffè Design, and 3D printed by Totum 3D. The project will materialize through two temporary events at Meat Crew stores (Viale Bligny 18, Milan and Via Carmagnola 13, Milan). The "Fast Fasten Food" will be produced in limited edition. The exclusive 60 pieces of design will be given to the Mocho and Caffè Design community. The goal of the product is to capture the idea of Milanese frenzy, where even eating at a fast-food restaurant can be an extremely lengthy process. With the Fast Fasten Food, however, you'll always have the menu at your fingertips, allowing customers to eat without sacrificing other activities.

Furthermore, the object will serve a dual function: after being used for eating, it can be used as a desk organizer. «It's an honor for me to do this project with Caffè Design» - said Mocho, founder of Meat Crew - «We are hungry and crazy; we brought hunger, and the guys from Caffè Design added that touch of madness that gave life to FastFastFastFood. A provocative project, as we often like to do, but one that celebrates Milan, its frenzy, design, and love for burgers.» – he concluded. »The collaboration with Meat Crew is perfect for us» - said the guys from Caffè Design - «With Mocho and the extraordinary Meat Crew team, there is a special affinity linked mainly by the passion each of us has for our work. And then it's Design Week. It's Milan. Where a simple place like a fast-food restaurant turns into an opportunity to generate a conversation. Milan is moving too fast? Maybe it's better to talk about it first. FastFastFastFood is an exaggeration of Milan's rhythms, where even the Fast Food menu becomes 'slow' and needs a push.» – they concluded. It is precisely within the framework of an event like Design Week, the ultimate expression of the frenetic soul that inhabits Milan, that Meat Crew and Caffè Design have chosen to try to portray the unstoppable life that we often find ourselves swept up in. During the Fuorisalone 2024 week, even Meat Crew stores will be fully themed and branded with FOMO-inspired messages. The initiative's concept aims to recreate a situation as realistic as it is paradoxical that can allow us to realize how Milan is effectively an urban jungle running at very fast paces.

The two events will take place on April 17th and 18th starting at 7:00 PM, respectively, on Wednesday at the Meat Crew store at Viale Bligny 18, and on Thursday at Via Carmagnola 13. They will be accompanied by a DJ Set.
