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. > **[Laila Gohar decorates carousel with oversized fruits for Arket collaboration](https://www.dezeen.com/2026/04/22/laila-gohar-arket-carousel/)** > > Laila Gohar has transformed a traditional carousel by swapping its original figures for oversized fruits at Milan design week. Here’s the carousel shot from Laila Gohar’s Arket collaboration in Milan. ![arket-x-laila-gohardezeen2364colsq1](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex011/uploads/kirupa/original/3X/a/f/afd40a500bfce6e0747837ed53b987f1bba07d36.jpeg) ---

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. ---

Okay but the carousel mechanics are what kill me — if it actually spins, those giant fruits have to be balanced like a turntable or it’s gonna wobble itself into chaos. that gif is exactly the vibe lol ---

Look — even if it’s “just” a set piece, anything that spins with that much weight turns into a vibration machine fast. You either overbuild the bearing/base or you end up with a very expensive fruit yeeting itself across the room. ---

Lol “very expensive fruit yeeting itself” is exactly how these installs end up on TikTok. I’ve worked on a couple rotating display things for shoots and the fix is always boring: way slower spin than you want, plus hidden ballast so it doesn’t wobble itself to death.
