“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 Designcelebrates 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. Discover how the three came together to bring Nine Squared to life, from the initial ideas and creative vision through to the design and delivery of the space. Hear about the collaborative process, the thinking behind the interiors and how thoughtful design can shape the way we experience a place.
Tickets are £20 including refreshments & snacks with a limited number of free tickets available to those on low income.
About FADA Studio
FADA is a multifaceted design studio; an open, empathetic environment where creative conversation can thrive and flourish, where concepts are nurtured, contorted and tested before taking on their final form. We are considered in our approach, producing work that instils an appreciation for craft and precedent.Derived from the Irish language, FADA is an acronym for ‘faoi aon díon amháin’ translating as, ‘under one roof.’ In this space, under one roof, we thrive on the cross-pollination of ideas, people and place, resulting in the creation of meaningful timeless spaces, furniture, objects and forms.
Founder and Architectural Designer, Aoife Mulvenna, is a collaborative creative with a passion for emotional place making and an eye for detail. She is driven by a genuine desire to understand her clients on a deeper level, crafting beautiful spaces that feel authentic and brand specific.
