Laila Gohar takes food for thought to a whole other level. The Egyptian-born, New York–based artist and designer uses food as her medium, creating wondrous tablescapes, sculptures, and, in the case of this year’s Salone del Mobile in Milan, even a carousel.

Just in time for this week’s culinary issue, she sits in DRESS CODE’s Haute Seat.
