There is a creative element to design and food so why not bring them together with people from both fields in one space.
From September 15 to October 3, HEL YES! will do just that at Londonewcastle Old Depot in London.
What drives these food and design creatives from Finland:
Can furniture be made from trees thinned out from the forest?
Can a new dinner set be created from donated plates?
Can a restaurant gather ingredients straight from the forest?
Can something new come out of foraging the old?

They will combine Finish imports with daily ingredients collected by local foragers.
HEL YES! is commissioned by the Finnish Institute in London.
This Pop Up is part of myriad of events staged around London Design Festival 2010 (September 18-26).
