2007 - 2008
The Dirt Cafe Project is a cross-disciplinary design project based in London which aims to explore the relationship between food, sustainability and design. It has been created out of a collaboration, or 'joined-up thinking', between designers, chefs, food specialists, medical and well-being researchers, economists, scientists, social entrepreneurs and others.
In the Dirt Cafe Debates, a meal is created and shared in a temporary environment that stimulates the senses and highlights connections to a particular theme. Previously, Dirt Cafe Debates have explored Rotten, Slow, Intangibles, Plastic, Eco-onomy, Regeneration and Water. Through the Dirt Cafe, a thoughtful diet becomes the starting point for new conversations and new outcomes.
I collaborated on the most recent Debate on 'Water', creating a hand printed tablecloth for the meal on a 100% hemp cloth.
