Regag bread
Location
Noor Al Fanoos Bakery, Dubai
Regag is a popular bread in the UAE. Very thin, crispy in texture, this type of bread is folded multiple times when served. It is also considered a street-food and is eaten at any time of the day, usually bought at a bakery, where customers have the opportunty to see the quick cooking process and engage with the baker in everyday conversation. It is usually served with fish sauce or cheese.
The relationship established between the customer and the baker is what interested me the most, because it evoques imagination and anticipation. I can visualize regag as reminescent of a letter being handed over...they share very similar properties. They are both thin, crispy, and foldable. These observations turned into Warm Regag Giver, a regag memo paper holder. My final project consists of memo paper made of fibres, similar to the regag texture which here is used as a tool. I hope this memo will be exchanged, found and received as commonly as regag with messages of warmth and comfort.
