EATAIPEI TEASER ｜ A SENSORY EXPLORATION OF THE NEXT WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL AT TENT LONDON

EATAIPEI TEASER
A SENSORY EXPLORATION OF THE NEXT WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL AT TENT LONDON
Eataipei is a unique event that introduces Taipei to London through a series of food performances and exhibitions of outstanding contemporary Taiwanese design.
Taipei will be the World Design Capital in 2016 – in anticipation of this exciting honour, Eataipei will explore what is referred to as “the best kept secret of Asia”. Taipei is a modern city with deep and diverse histories, inspiring natural contrasts, vibrant commerce and spectacular architecture.
Designer Shikai Tseng and architect Rain Wu will lead audiences on an immersive and sensory exploration of Taipei through five exquisitely crafted dishes, which will explore Taipei’s history, landscape, people, lifestyle and future. The senses that are triggered by food – taste, touch, sound and smell – are fundamental and will provide the link between the act of eating and the design history of Taipei.
The food performance will take place alongside an exhibition that showcases the best contemporary design from Taipei. The work displayed will reinforce the narratives from the food performances and reveal the rich design practices from this inspiring metropolis.
