Food (design) that makes you think

As in all design disciplines, we also find stimulating and abrasive designs in food design. Projects that put you on the wrong track or make you think about your own ideas or behavior. Sometimes with humor and sometimes confronting.

Livestreams

The IKEA Virtual Greenhouse - We Smell the Rain on How to Make a Kokedama

The IKEA Virtual Greenhouse is a series of masterclasses, live talks and interactive experiences by expert creatives in food, wellbeing, sustainability and botany. They’re designed to help cultivate a more sustainable and balanced life at home.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has accelerated our quest for health, holistic wellbeing and sustainable living practices. With an increasing majority of us now living in urban spaces with minimal access to nature and wildlife, the pandemic has provided us with an opportunity for introspection – a chance to reflect, reset and re-evaluate what’s important to us. The result is a more conscious approach to consumption and a desire to live a more balanced life, with less. Each session provides practical, how-to insights, from plant care to preserving seeds, making a Japanese kokedama ball or creating a home mini terrarium. They’re designed to help the many people create a life at home in which they can truly flourish.
