“Food Loves Design” aims to highlight the role of design in the food and hospitality sectors. From illustration and branding to interiors and experiences, Food Loves Design celebrates the role of design in shaping how we experience food and hospitality. This event series invites the wider public to explore the creativity, ideas and thinking behind the places, brands and experiences we love, in a way that is joyful, accessible and interactive. Our second event takes place on Tuesday 17th November , bringing together FADA Studio , Maven and Nine Squared for an insight into the world of interior design.
