alcoholic architecture April 23rd, 2009
The latest project from bespoke jelly mould makers Bompas & Parr is a unique drinking experience dubbed the UK’s first walk in cocktail. Decked in a protective suit, you walk into a breathable cloud of Hendrick’s gin & tonic – created using the same technology as Anthony Gormley’s Blind Light installation at the Hayward Gallery last year. Entry is ticketed and time controlled, and you are kindly asked to breathe responsibly. Beyond making mould-breaking jellies [past projects include: an architectural desert trolley, and a jelly model of Madrid's Barajas airport], Bompass & Parr describe themselves as curators and creators of spectacular culinary events, and judging by the popularity of this event, they are continuing to live up to their self-awarded reputation…
Tickets available here
