‘the flour pot bakery strives for a healthy diet with high quality, natural ingredients and environmentally friendly practices. i chose to design a menu that could be carried home without hassle. i placed all menu items on a baguette carry-out bag so that customers could carry the menu home easily while simultaneously being able to enjoy a flour pot baked good. an alternate menu for lunch is available for guests who dine in."

writers reveal 26 treasures in 62 words as part of london design week. the project sees 26 writers paired with 26 objects in the v&a’s british glleries, with each writer writing exactly 62 words in response. the written pieces will be on display next to the objects during the festival. our own copywriter sylvie saunders was one of the writers to be chosen as well as our team designing the identity.
through personal and poetic responses, the writers aim to encourage visitors to take a different, non-scholarly look at precious objects in the v&a’s collection. as their own contribution to the festival the v&a have designed these amazing leaflets about each designers/artists personal inspiration.
the experimental food society was founded in january 2010 to front the uk’s most talented culinary creatives, showcasing a group of ground-breaking gourmet artists that demonstrate there is more to life than just swallowing.
this weekend the gang take over the brickhouse in the east-end promising installations by the ‘jellymongers’, butter sculptors and chocolate landscapers. a £5 day ticket allows you to view the creations but the more costly evening ticket allows you to indulge in tasting the creations and then dance the night away to a food-themed dj set.
we love this fun packaging for cooked in barcelona, a spanish jeans ocmpany.
‘why cooked?
because we treat pants and accessories just as a creative chef would; investigating with innovating ingredients, creating new versions of grandma’s old recipes and searching for new ways to create aesthetics, flavours, textures and sensations in all of our products.’
open: october 1st – 3rd and 5th – 8th
lunch: 12:30 – 3pm
dinner: 6:30 – 8:15pm and 8:30 – 10:30pm
