Laila Gohar turns carousel into produce display

Laila Gohar turned a carousel into a giant produce display for her first Arket ready-to-wear launch, which is exactly the kind of Milan design week thing that sounds absurd until you see the photos.

Here’s the carousel shot from Laila Gohar’s Arket collaboration in Milan.

Look — it’s cute, but i always wonder what the cleanup plan is when you build a whole installation around “food” in public. anything that looks edible turns into a magnet for sticky hands and pests real fast.

How would pests find their way towards artificial food? The “food” doesn’t emit any smells that real food would to attract them in the first place, right?

Pests don’t need the fake fruit to “call” them over — they’re already in the space and they roam. If the carousel has little crevices, dust, or moisture (or even real crumbs nearby), it’s basically just a convenient hiding spot they’ll investigate.
