This looks so cool. I notice that the pasta is symmetric in the “z” index dimension. As if it were a cylinder and the z was along the length of the cylinder. I think each pasta could be cut such that there is an arc making the thicker folds less long in that z direction that could make it cook more evenly! I could try to draw something if this needs further clarification. Manufacturing this might add many issues however!
In the end it was a commercial flop - albeit not critical: both Voiello and Giugiaro Design are still thriving in their respective fields.
I know someone who was working for Giugiaro at the time and allegedly the design studio had piles of that stuff lying around for whoever wanted to take home... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
