A few favourite pieces with Lili Song

A look inside Lili Song's New York home, where colour, material and everyday objects quietly inform a practice that blurs the line between food, design and sculpture.

Lili Song makes things you want to eat and things you want to look at, and more often than not, both at once.

Based in New York City, the food artist works with fruit, gelatin, sugar and cream, creating carefully composed works that exist somewhere between dessert and sculpture. Her signature fruit jelly cakes are celebrated for their remarkable clarity and precision, transforming everyday ingredients into objects that explore colour, form and material with an almost architectural sensibility.

We visited Lili in her home to explore the Mud pieces she lives with every day.

Lili's favourite Mud pieces are the ones she reaches for every day. From her morning espresso and afternoon tea to shared meals around the table, each piece has earned its place through daily use. Tea cups and saucers, espresso cups, latte mugs, water jugs and salad plates move effortlessly between moments alone and gatherings with friends, becoming familiar companions to the rituals that shape life at home.

"I use these pieces every day, and they've become part of my daily routine. They're functional without feeling ordinary, and the colours make setting the table feel effortless."
